Hi Carol, Thank you for the tip. May I ask what kind of errors you found when saving Legacy as a Word document? e.g. page layout such as line spacing or problems with the index for names or places etc.
John From: Carol Boswell Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2016 1:30 PM To: Legacy User Group Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] add font to Legacy? May I just add that after printing a book in Word that Word is unstable for large documents? Editing something on one page seemed to magically cause errors on other pages, even though I kept the same opening and ending sentences on the pages. It was an exercise in frustration to edit and re-edit with new errors appearing each time. Others may have better software to suggest.
