If you install Bullzip pdf printer as your default printer, you can set the
default page size for the printer before going into legacy charting and
creating a chart. The chart will then take on that default page size of that
printer and output will be a pdf file.
This logic is true for other

Then as I found more information, I might merge two people or link to other
family members, etc. The name list, sorted by given name, made it
I can't think right now if there's any Legacy charts that can be
exported as .csv files (I think so from the Name List) because if so, I
think that would give Fusion Tables a head start. It's a no-muss,
no-fuss import into a spreadsheet there, I'd guess. This may be
relatively simple.

In the past I used GoogleDocs for word processing and spreadsheets. To
be honest, I no longer use the service because I was afraid Google would
'index' anything.

It looks like the Google Fusion Tables option might work, which leaves the
question of how to get the data onto a table. Here's the first glimmer of an
idea. Please let me know what you think of my thought process.

Try the Name List in Legacy. You can do a search first to narrow it down
or just use the whole name list. Use the Print option to choose the
columns you want showing. If you want this on a map you'll need lat/long
which is available there for all the vital records. So add the ones you
want to your
I just decided I wanted to make a small change to the way I have been

incorporate Overrides. I don't see any way to do a Search Replace of

Thanks, Sherry,
I think the filter option will do it. It would be nice, however, to be
able to redo the columns.

Laura,
I am not an Excel user (being an OOo man!), however, is it not possible for
you to copy just a section of your Excel file into a new sheet, which you
can then transfer using Google?
However, I would be tempted to get in touch with Malcolm Green at TelGen and
they do have a Forum:
I was not suggesting that you use OOo, you already made it clear that you
did not wish to, but that you break you Excel file into smaller sections

The Excel file contains over 20 sheets which contain over 155000

Here are some apps for the iPad that reads Excel files:
1. Quickoffice
2. GoodReader
3. PrintBureau
3. Numbers
And there are probably lots of others.
Most of these have a fee for the app.

On your PC, try installing a PDF creator. Then print the spreadsheet
to a PDF file(s). Then move that PDF file(s) to the tablet (assuming

Fine, that is what I understood you meant, what I don't know is whether,
providing the sheets are the same construction, from within Excel you can
break them down into smaller files which the Google method can handle -
incidentally will your iPad handle files of that size?
My suggestion in
You can also save Excel in various formats right in the program (to
html and publish or as a PDF in the Microsoft add on to the Excel
program) - then you could work with either one I would think.

For several reasons, I'd like to generate a list of the pictures I'm using

I can't see a way to generate the list. (Each of the picture files has
many unused images and I want to move the unused ones out.)
