If someone would just create a computer census form on which one could enter
the data; all would be well. Once the data has been entered it could be
saved as a jpg and attached in the usual manner.

I like to use the worksheets by CensusTools to manage my census information.
Is there any way to save these types of worksheets and associate them with
an individual in Legacy, like I would a picture? If so, could someone give
me instructions on how to do this?
Thanks,

I use a not-too-expensive program called Docucom PDF Direct by Zeon
http://www.pdfwizard.com/eng/product/buydrv.asp which will make a PDF from
any Word/Excel etc document. Then you can attach it as a PDF to Legacy
for your own use and can snapshot the people you want on the PDF page as a
JPG to
Well, not ideal, but two ways I use.
1. Scan the census image (either one you transcribed or the original) and
save as JPG
2. OR, Display the census as large as you can on the screen and make a
screen shot- save that as a JPG
Then associate that census with whomever you want to just like you
Carol,
You can attach any kind of file you wish as a Sound or Video in Legacy.
Click on the Picture Gallery icon as if you were going to insert a picture.
Click on the Sound (or Video) icon.
In the Load Sound File window, click on Files of Type and select All Files (*.*)
Navigate to the folder
Carol,
Check Robert's response again. You CAN scan the form as a *.jpg file
which is a picture image. I scan all my census forms in and attach
them to the applicable individuals or families this way.

You can save any kind of media in Legacy but Excel, Word, etc will
open in their native format. If you download (or Save) directly
from Ancestry.com the image will be a jpg. The simplest thing to do
with non-picture documents is to go to www.hamrick.com and download
their shareware program
Jim: A question -- which is the smaller file, a JPG
or a PDF of, say, a typed-in census page?

Hi Jennie,
A jpg is typically smaller because it is just an image and doesn't
contain any intelligence. BUT on a document by document basis it can
change. Docs with lots if info will usually favor jpg.

Jim,
From thestandpoint of clarity and filesize I would think that opening an Excel, Word, etc file in its native format is preferable to storing as a graphic, especially in the case of multi-page files. What are the downsides to native format vs. graphic?

Clem,
I have tried it both ways today, and I like saving this spreadsheet as a
Sound file - when I click it, it automatically opens to a size that I can
read it. When I save it as a picture, it doesn't. There may be a better
way than I am doing, but so far I'm saving Census Trackers as Sound
