2013-10-25 Thread Kathy Thompson
Hi everyone, Does anyone know if it is possible to produce a Family Tree or Ancestry Chart type document that has specific Custom events on it? I have recorded for each relevant person what Vital Stat document/s I hold for them (Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Death, Burial) and I'd like to be able to

Kathy, If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to add information to the chart you are creating thereby making it a custom type chart. In Legacy Charting you can manipulate any chart--alter the size of boxes, add or delete content within those boxes, etc.--the choices are limitless. If you

The Report Tab Family under Family Group Records allows in [Report Options] to display Individual and Marriage Events. In most other Reports this option is greyed out, making it unavailable. I do not think any Charting option allows you to add Events to the Charts. This is the only reason I

Is it still on your hard drive? If you're in the Picture Gallery, are you seeing a question mark icon? Just click on one of the icons to bring up the Find FIle window. Select to let Legacy search for the file. That *should* relink all pics unless they've been renamed or removed from the hard

Are the pictures not linked at all (picture icon under people who had pictures are no longer coloured) or is it just that Legacy is not able to find the pictures when you click on the picture icon? In one case all you need to do is point legacy to the right location, if no links exist however you

Is there a way to tag ALL marriages in the database? I can see how to do it with individuals and I already have done that but I would like to tag all of the marriages so that I can work through them to correct problems that were in FTM before I converted the file to Legacy. As I correct them, I

Do you want to (1) share the file so that each of you can work on the same file? Or do you (2) want them to have a copy of your file so they can see what you've got, but not make changes to your original file? Either way, the file or folder you want to share needs to be in the Dropbox folder.
