Thanks to all of you on LUG who have helped me with the Picture Center. I
think I now have Family Files as sub folders within Legacy Pictures. It works
really well. Love the Scrapbook!!!
To all you others that are new to Legacy, I strongly recommend listening to
the DVD's over and over.
Jane,
Or just use the Sample file, supplied with all copies of Legacy - I do suggest
that changes are reversed though, otherwise the file becomes a complete mess
(not to mention that reversing changes is also good practice in using whatever
function maybe under test).

You will find much disagreement on the topic of using the full address in the

My own take on this is to use English, with the names at the time of the Event.
The reason being that Legacy does not support utf8 which is a requirement for
many of the accents etc.
I often do use the local language on my own web pages (non Legacy) where utf8
coding is supported.

Hi, Ronald --
In re-reading Michele's original message -- and the responses -- I
misunderstood the problem she is having. However, I am pretty
convinced that the problem I *do* have -- on a regular basis -- is
related to Legacy. Other people have posted about it before, and it
has happened
Also, what option is the best for web pages, Ancestor style vs. Family Group
vs. Individual vs. Pedigree? I don't want to do descendant because then I
