Tom,
Really it is proper to try to use HELP first, rather than cluttering
the list mail with simple questions easily handled by HELP
Click HELP then type in SORT then click on INDEX VIEW

Click on the Help button in any window in Legacy that you have
questions on to go right to the topic
If you're having a hard time thinking of the correct indexing topic,
click on the Search tab in Help and search on a keyword that's not a
common word.
For the Index View, you might look up
I agree, this forum is extremely helpful for any kind of questions, simple or
complicated… we all want to help each other out.
Yes there is the HELP feature which is really good, but there are times when we
just want to ask. No harm in that.

No questions about Legacy should be considered clutter. But complaints….?

This topic apparently has hit a sensitive nerve. As a help desk person (not

how to search, we urge that as the first action and when needed we
I have TMG 7.04 and Windows 7.
Do you have any tips on settings for GEDCOM export/import?
Did you loose any data? How did you get the data that was lost from TMG
to Legacy?
Is there anything else I need to look for?
Can you point me to a website that already has instructions on switching?
I was able to search on Burial Notes not equal to blank, but I cannot then

Welcome to Legacy from a former TMG user. I switched several years ago
because I found Legacy much more intuitive and liked the window layouts
better. I would agree with Sherry that the help file is the most up-to-date
