Re: [LegacyUG] Viewing census pages

Hi Ron, Why do you use the 'files' option rather than the 'Picture' option? If you used 'Picture' option then Legacy itself would be the viewer. I can see a possible advantage to using 'files' option as you do since the census images could be viewed in a separate window. Windows can assign separa

But I do not know what other newspapers I have put into the Source Detail, so I cannot search for them. Many individuals have each have more than 20 "Newspaper Clipping" as the source name. I do not know how to create a list of those source entries. All I can do is create a list of the indivi

Go to Master List, find Source Type, find your 'Newspaper clippings'. Highlight it, then choose show list, then tag all. First find all who are in list, and hopefully each clipping has the information somewhere. Create one as 'Newspaper clippings - New York Times' then 'Newspaper clippings - Chi

Wanda: It's been this way for years, so I wouldn't expect a change in the next version. (BTW, the request is not to include step-children, but to include the parent-child status so that we can see that they are step-children.) Mike: I think the same Include form is used for all the report types,

The Descendant Chart only shows direct descendants and spouses. I use the Deluxe edition and those options are grayed out for me, also. The option to include stepchildren in a chart would be nice. Maybe it will be included in the next version. Wanda

Hi, I store all my census sheets in a folder under Legacy. To access these pages I click on the pictures icon and use the 'files' option. This has worked successfully until I recently installed a Nero Multimedia program. I now get the message that there is no default media player set up on my co

Many years ago, I created a source name called "Newspaper Clipping." Bad move! Most of the items are from the NY Times, but not all. I would like to change the name of the source for the NY Times articles to "New York Times." I need to discover which Newspaper Clippings are NOT from the NY Time

But that doesn't explain why all those options are grayed out in the Include tab -- those are general options for descendant charts and it's not clear to me why Legacy shows the options but then grays them out. Mike Ron Ferguson wrote: > I think that you Will find that you need to link the child

Mike, I would like the same thing, but I'm not aware of any way to do it. I've just been going through the same thing. I've come to the conclusion that I should make little use of the basic Descendant Chart report and depend more on the Descendant Narrative report. It's not perfect, but at least t

Hi all, I'm a new Legacy user and just joined the list. I found the stepchildren thread in the archive, and was able successfully to set a stepson's status as "step". So far so good. Those parents and stepson are part of a descendants report. In the "report options -> descendant chart -> include

I found an old post (shown below) where the user, Ruth, wanted to add the name of a spouse to an individual's event. User Graham responded to Ruth's post saying that it worked for him. I want to do the same thing. For example, since marriage is a major event in a person's life, I'd like to create
