RE: [LegacyUG] Why don't I receive emails?

2015-11-17 Thread gregandlaurel
I don’t receive emails either, but I think it is a good thing! I can access the Mail Archives at my leisure to read all new emails, and I don’t have to deal with dozens in my inbox. I can also correspond with the Usergroup if needed. A win, win in my mind! Laurel Legacy User Group

Re: [LegacyUG] LFT under Linux?

2015-11-06 Thread gregandlaurel
Just a quick comment about Windows 10 and Legacy. My 6 year old laptop on Windows 7 had been freezing and crashing several times a day - especially in Legacy. About 3 weeks ago I installed Windows 10 and my freezing/crashing issues totally disappeared. The only problem I have noticed in Legacy

RE: [LegacyUG] unsupported file format

2015-09-02 Thread gregandlaurel
I use IrfanView – a free program. You can save a PDF as a jpg, tiff, whatever. Or visa versa. Lots of options. I just make a copy of the picture or document and work from that. You can also resize documents easily. Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp

2015-07-22 Thread gregandlaurel
I would simply enclose the missing information in square brackets and question mark: ... enlisted 181[?] or if you think you know what the illegible date is, but are not positive: ... enlisted 18[13?] I don't think it needs to be followed with explanation. Laurel Legacy User Group

RE: [LegacyUG] Possible glitch in programming

2015-06-16 Thread gregandlaurel
Hi Jenny, I have this exact same problem. I thought I had fixed the glitch after trying several things – but in the last couple of days the issue is back. In addition to the text glitch, the event pictures (in some situations) are overlapping on top of each other. Quite a messy report result.

[LegacyUG] Informant Event Definition?

2015-06-07 Thread gregandlaurel
Hi Rob, I think adding or not adding the date of the event in addition to the date of registration is a personal choice. I like to include both. My event sentence format is different than yours, but here is a Birth Informant event from my file: 1886 Feb 15 - Birth Informant - Annie registered the

2015-05-27 Thread gregandlaurel
I am seeing several issues with pictures since the update. In both Desc and Ancestor reports, some pictures are on top of each other. For example, a picture of my mother is partially covered by a picture of someone else. On some reports there are 2 or 3 instances of this. Also, some of the

Thanks for responding Leon and Cathy. Leon, the picture reset didn’t work, but I did find out what the problem was. For some reason the update changed the location of my media files (Customize – Locations - Default Location of Media Files). I changed it back to the correct location and now

I just downloaded version 8.0.0.467 and have come across the following after the update: 1) Additional spaces between words were added to my transcribed sources under the Text of Source screen in Master Sources. About 25% of my sources were affected. The extra spaces were just random –

Hi, I subscribed about a week ago, but I am not receiving any emails. I see a question I posted shows on the usergroup and I was hoping someone could help me with it. Here it is again: I just recently upgraded to Legacy 8 and I use the Basic System for sources. I have a 2 part issue: firstly,

I just recently upgraded to Legacy 8 and I use the Basic System for sources. I have a 2 part issue: firstly, does ibid not work? Under Customize Legacy - Sources, Section 7.8 it says Use ibid for repeating Master Sources (this only applies to Basic-Style sources). I have this ticked, but so
