Mike, I wonder if the issue is the version Jim is using. His sig on his first post, and also pointed out by someone, states that he is using V5. Deluxe. This ability to control labels and wordings sounds like the sort of enhancement that would be made as new versions are released. If that's

The ability to change wording for marriages is a new feature in Version 7. It does not exist in versions before that so any discussion of labels for unmarried couples and the wording of sentences for unmarried couples will only apply to Version 7. Karen and Jim indicate they are using Version 5.0

[LegacyUG] LGS Files With Different Names ...

Hi Peter, Let me see if I've got this straight... you have one file, let's call it MAIN.fdb which is your main working Legacy file. The other, let's call it OTHER.fdb, started out as a copy of MAIN.fdb and then was added to. Now you want the content of OTHER to be the content of MAIN. Is that

To my memory, (decades ago) I got my log-in and the LDS may now control closer than before, but I expect they will want you to sign up, they happily share their stuff?  Tell them you are not Mormon, but a genealogist, and your non Mormon nephew has his log in and you want to look at his data. I

Copy your Legacy.usr file to a safe place. That has all the settings from Options Customize. The Legacy2.usr file contains your current screen sizes and positions. There are other .usr files but they are for reports etc. and should not be affected by an update. For that matter neither should your

I did wonder along the same lines as Wendy, but Peter, if you are anything like me, my Genesreunited Tree is a GEDCOM loaded files comprising a stripped down version of my main family file, and hence I would lose too much data by doing it that way. In fact I did not make any suggestion because
