I've been playing around with scanning my documents and pictures
directly into Legacy. The first thing I had, though, was a birth
certificate with a lot of information on the back. Do you just scan
twice, basically creating two files, or is there a way to make it wait
for page two?
Thanks!
The logic is very simple: Cash Flow.
Last summer it was announced that Ver. 7 would be released "soon." Why would
new potential customers buy Ver. 6 at full price when they knew they would have
to spend full price again in a few weeks or months for Ver. 7? They wouldn't.
They'd either wait,
We, Legacy Deluxe 6.0 users, have not purchased Version 7 yet. Some
other people have. It's a matter of days difference and the massive
logistics of putting this altogether, as Ken has explained on the list
twice already, taking more valuable time out of his day. Geez, have a
heart.

Regarding scanning... I have been advised to use TIFF files as archive

Whatever you want to call it, you have to turn the page over on the

Check with your scanner software. I have scanned items, especially when using OCR, and told it there was more than one page. Then the two pages were in the same file. It's been awhile so I can't tell you how I did it or if it would work for photos. If I get a chance this weekend I'll take a loo

Does a pretty good job with OCR, too.

Hi folks
And here's from another oldtimer -- first off, I switched to Legacy many
years ago -- I think way back at Legacy 2 -- before they had a 'free'
edition and a 'Deluxe' edition. I didn't complain about paying the price for
the full edition -- it was still one of the more reasonable price
I believe whatever is in your database in v.6 will be in your database
in v.7. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise. It's the program version
