Michele,  I have been "away" from the group for a few months, but does Legacy now allow you to view/open PDF files within the app? Ed, I was going to suggest you copy/paste the text of the story into the Notes of an EVENT, rather than the General Notes.  If the story is in a separate file, it w

Jane, If you can get the correct individuals tagged, then even if the ancestor report doesn't have a "print for tagged people" option (I don't think it does), you can still copy the tagged people (maybe the term is "export"?) to a new, separate family file (fdb).  Open the new family file (which

Instead of asking a whole lot of questions about what Legacy v8 does and doesn't do, why don't you download it and have a look around? It installs in a different place to previous versions, so it is easy to keep your current version and data file intact and have them both running at the same time.
