2013-11-19 Thread Paul Richardson
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone with any experience of producing ancestor book reports may be able to offer some advise with a problem I have. I'm tying to put together an Ancestor book report through the publishing centre in Legacy 7.5 to give to my parents, aunts & uncles. As such I thought of p

Probably because I am used to using the PDF option, will take a look at RTF and see how I like it. Thanks for the tip Paula. Carolyn Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@lega

Paul, You keep saying that you are using the program in anger. If Legacy or any program is causing you anger, then don't use it. Nobody is forcing you to use a program in anger. You claim to be a programmer, maybe you can write your own program that will not cause any anger for you. Ron Bernie

You are not alone in your frustrations. While legacy is good at data entry, you are not the first, nor will you be the last, in voicing frustrations over the inability to get your own data back out of it. The archives are full of workarounds to address these issues too - locations vs addresses, s
