Re: [LegacyUG] My legacy won't back up

Backing up Legacy is not a problem. For those of you that have a little bit of computer knowledge simply EXPORT your Legacy file to a thumb drive as well as the directory(s) that you store your pictures and multi-media in. I do this every day if I am entering a lot of data. Thanks to Microsoft we

Get a printer like the Epson 1400 so you can print on 13 X 19 paper or 11 X 17 (available at your local print shop cheap). Useable charts can then be produced. Landscape is a great way to show more information on a single sheet, especially if it is using larger paper sizes. I use a friend's

[LegacyUG] What about deleting old ZIP backup files?

I see that there are a number of old backup files on my hard drive from Legacy in my J:Legacy\Data directory. Is there any reason I shouldn't delete them? It only about 80 megabytes but space is space. Are there any other useless files that can be deleted? Ken Legacy User Group guidelines:

De-screeing applies only to images published in newspapers or magazines. They are made using a method called halftone images, which consists of various sizes of dots. The text of the newspaper does not use the halftone method and articles can be scanned normally. Halftones on the other hand need

The only thing that is printed using the halftone method is photographs in newspapers and magazines. Any text, whether hand written or typeset do not need to be de-screened. See my prior post for more details. Ken - Original Message - From: Tim Rosenlof spa...@xmission.com To:

I have read the manual and everything on line but still cannot decide on the most efficient and useful dpi to scan pictures in and what size image to put the file into Legacy as. Probably 90% of us print on 8.5 X 11 inch paper, most printers can print any DPI up to a limit, but those of you

I just received my Legacy Deluxe Edition package in the mail this week and have found that it is SO much easier to use than my old software, The Master Genealogist. I do have one question although I don't think there will be an answer that I will like. When I imported the Gedcom file into
