A few more thoughts if I may about ‘how-to’ information in Legacy.
First, how many are aware of the tutorial topics available in Legacy’s help
system? To find the list of tutorial topics, do the following:
1. Click the Help icon in the toolbar.
2. From the Legacy Help Contents pag

Mike,
I have tried to summarize a few webinars for my own notes into a cookbook
fashion and have found it hard to do only because of the "decision tree
process" which is not linear as are most cookbook recipes. But I like the
concept generally.

Simply not practicable. How is some technical writer supposed to work out what
some users may or may not want to do?

Hi, Larry,
I'm not sure what you mean by " Help search function"? It seems to me what
we're complaining about is the way instructions in Legacy "Help" are
written, not about the Search function?

John,
Your point is well made.
Having found similar issues with the Help search function in other software I
am inclined to think this may be more of a problem with the Microsoft help
function than with Legacy. Maybe someone with expertise in this area will
respond.

My apologies to all. The two lists I attempted to include
with my previous e-mail did not display well, even though I
kept to plain text and spaces, rather than tabs to separate
them. Here are those two lists one above the other in hopes
that they will be easier to read. I have included the

Pat and Marnie,
I am in complete accord with you on Legacy Help screens, and
to a great extent on the Legacy 7 manual as well.Entries
tend to present the user with a multitude of exceptions
rather than on the most simple, straight forward procedures
that are liable to be sought after by first time

I'm with Pat. I seldom use Legacy Help because I don't find it helpful.
I would strongly recommend that the file be edited by someone unfamiliar
with Legacy.
Contextual help is of no use if you can't even get to the screen that
you want/need to use.

Brian,
That's it -- that's precisely the problem! I expect Legacy to give me
instructions/directions in the order in which I must do them -- not in more
or less reverse order. I get discouraged when I cannot even understand the
very first sentence.
If that last paragraph "Ancestor Options help"
Look at the last line of that Ancestor Options help screen. It tells you
how to get to the screen that is discussed in this topic.
Once you are on the correct screen for the help topic the topic should
make more sense.

I'm guessing that rather than family view you need to first be at the
tagging screen (Ctrl+T).
