Hoping I’m not insulting your intelligence but have you set Options/Customize/General settings 1.3 for Starting Family? Check other options as well if you have not. Startup Family does not display on initial load. Click on the "Family" tab, and it comes up.Display Tooltips - When you hover ove

[LegacyUG] Backup files from Legacy Family Tree

Hello, I am subscribed to this mailing list, but I have asked questions before and was told I could not post, and no one has told me why. Anyway my question is; Do I need to keep all the zip files that get backed up when I exit Legacy FT? Penny Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFa

Re: [LegacyUG] Linux/Wine

Options have been checked, but to no avail. Looking online for other users of Wine/Legacy. Haven't found an answer yet. Thanks for your input. Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyu

RE: [LegacyUG] Backup files from Legacy Family Tree

The answer all depends upon just how comfortable you feel with one, two, six, or any other number of these backup ZIP files. It seems a common number to keep is somewhere around the number 6. I would add that technically only one is really needed but you never know where a Legacy file might have

[LegacyUG] Family Search and Shared Events

I prefer using the Event Clipboard. Not quite as quick as shared events but a lot more flexible. Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Thu, May 21, 2015 at 1:39 PM, pcord...@gmail.com wrote: > So, I love shared events because it's such a timesaver in Legacy. > However, non

RE: [LegacyUG] Backup files from Legacy Family Tree

I fully understand what you are saying about the need for not instructing Legacy users on basic Windows operations. That's partly why I used the words "rudimentary" and "very simple statement" in my post. But I guess Legacy has to draw the line somewhere otherwise the Help files get overly compl

RE: [LegacyUG] Family Search and Shared Events
