Remember that Reset resets everything for that report, though. I was having the opposite problem -- I would prefer that the Preview opens at a zoom level where I can see the whole page, not just the first 10 lines in GIANT font. Is there a way to control that? Or should I submit a suggestion?

It would be great if all option choices stuck like they're supposed to so that you don't have to re-invent each report.  Good suggestion.Ron Taylor --- On Mon, 5/7/12, Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net wrote: From: Paula Ryburn paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Preview

Hi Listers, I've been away from genealogy for 3-4 years and have forgotten how some things are done. I have registered version 5. When I started it up, I found it wasn't as current as my most current gedcom file. This was on a backup PC. An electrical storm had killed my other PC, including its

Thank you Rich. I am somewhat new to Legacy and have the same question. I have read on-line helps and still don't really get-it. Comments anyone? What does tagging actually do? And what is the benefit? My previous program didn't use this feature. Marie Sandvig On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 12:37

Rich, Firstly, I do not recommend that you accept the offer. Putting it simply there should only ever be one person who edits a website. Secondly, I am not clear at what stage your cousin would edit. If you mean on-line then this is nothing to do with Legacy, and the user name and password to

I am a bit unclear on tagging a record, but as to tagging as it relates to individuals or marriages, I use tags for a variety of reasons.  Tag 1 is my paternal direct line; Tag 2 is my maternal direct line; and Tag 9 to mark if I need to fix something or do some cleanup. Right now, Tag 4 is my

Managing access to edit a web site is not a Legacy question. That is something you should address to the support people for the company that is hosting your web site. In regards to Legacy created web pages you should not, as a general rule, edit those once the web page files have been uploaded to

In simple terms a tag is like a little flag that you can attach to someone so they can be found again. The meaning of the tag is up to you but one use is to tag a group of people that you need to work on. For example with the release of the 1940 US Census you may want to mark everyone in your file
