RE: [LegacyUG] No messages

2007-05-09 Thread LouAnn Cameron
I signed up for this list yesterday. Not wishing you all to be bored, I need
help with webpage creation. 

I have created a Descendant page for one of my lines. I chose that type of
page because the work has been the collective effort of many different
branches of the ancestor born about 1745, and I wanted all of his lines to
show up. Now, I'd like to add other lines to my website, also using the
Descendant format. Can anyone tell me if that's possible or how to do it? 

I've never done any HTML coding, and it took me two days to figure out how
to update the page using my FTP program. I'm telling you this so you know
that I'm not a computer whiz! I'd appreciate any help anyone has to offer.

[LegacyUG] Deleting Sources from Selected Individuals

I have somehow gotten a valid master source attached, as unspecified,

How can I delete that master source from just those records?  I can
tag the list of individuals that don't want the source, but I am

Re: [LegacyUG] Webpage Creation WAS No messages

Hi LouAnn,
Welcome to the list! I hope we will always be able to help you. I
would like to suggest that you change the subject when you write to
the list, so that someone who might delete No Messages will open an
email asking for help on creating web pages. Also, if you can delete
all the extra links at the bottom of the email, and other irrelevant
stuff, that helps remove clutter from your message.

A group of persons are meeting together in a Yahoo group, I think,
about web pages. You might search the Archives (link is at the bottom

not worked on web pages with Legacy before, so I myself can't answer
your question.

Good luck, and hope I've been a little bit helpful.

It sounds like you've run Spybot- Search and Destroy and have let the
program remove the ICQ-SpyMonitor spyware?  It's a false positive that
Spybot is giving out.  Please download the latest update, just released
today, which removes that from the warning and restore the files.  On the

Hi LouAnn,

Sorry I did not see your original email because (as Susan says) I mass 
deleted all no messages.


Firstly have a look at my Creating Web Pages in the Blog section of my 
website (for the address see below) which gives the basic of creating web 
pages using Legacy, also have a look in the Help Pages which gives lots of 
information.


You need also, if I understand your requirements correctly, to look at 
creating Lines of multiple descent


The Web group to which Susan refers is at 
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/WUL/ from where you can subscribe, you will 
also need to subscribe to Yahoo Groups (both are free). The group contains 
Legacy users with a wide range of experience in creating websites, from 
beginners to advanced.

Dan,
Yep, your right, incorrectly read. Not enough coffee after just waking.

Mark

 I believe the OP (original poster) wanted to delete the Master Source
 citations from only some individuals, but not all of them, and keep
 the
 original Master Source and it's citations for the other individuals -
 so,
 steps 5 and 6 won't be necessary in that case.

Yes, I think that this will be quite easy, from the window in the lower
section where you have the baptism info, highlight the event, then select
options on the right hand side,
Right click and select swap with Christening/Baptism information

Just in case, I'd do a back up first though!

[LegacyUG] Events List style reports unsatisfactory

2007-05-09 Thread Beth Gay

Hello list,

I really enjoy Legacy and the data input but the output is not working 
for me. I chose to use Legacy because it offered the list style for 
events as well as narrative but the reports that I have examined are not 
useful. The only report that works properly is the chronology report.


Testing the family group sheet and the individual report both reports 
cut short my description and render the report useless. The format for 
the individual report is not what I wish to have in a list of events.


One example:
In the Legacy program for the event type Associates I have the date and 
location entered and fact description is entered as : Neighbors: William 
Barker  William Parry.


In the individual report this translates to:
Associates,  Neighbors: Richard Tree and William Spencer, 10 Feb 1636/37 
in James City County, V~


This one of my shortest fact descriptions so you can understand that 
several do not even show the date or location.


My preference would be to have the date shown after the event type.

I will report this as a bug; but wanted to alert anyone considering 
Legacy for the list option.


Best regards,

B. G.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem 650

2007-05-09 Thread Cathy

Hi Henry,
Yes you can swap the information to the Baptism field without retyping.

Under the Options button next to the events on the Individual 
information screen is a list of possibilities for the highlighted 
event, including Swap with baptism information.
There is a problem if the baptism event includes a Description - it 
is left behind if the baptism fields were empty and attached to the 
switched information if the baptism fields had information.


When the baptism fields were blank, this leaves a blank baptism event 
which then needs to be deleted. You can't delete a whole Event 
definition if it is being used.

So this is a big one by one job unless someone else can think of a clever way.

My only thought is - could you do it by exporting to a Gedcom and 
reimporting with particular mapping options. This would only be 
feasible if you've only used common items as some things are lost in 
Gedcom export. I'm also too inexperienced with Gedcoms to know how. 
You may need to edit the Gedcom and change the tag used for these 
baptisms to an unknown tag so that you are asked on import what to do 
with them.

Re: [LegacyUG] Events List style reports unsatisfactory

2007-05-09 Thread Cathy

Hi Beth,

I have been able to reproduce a ~ cutting off a field in the Family 
Group Sheet - but only for the Description. When the description is 
longer, it appears to drop down a line and be reported after the date 
and location - but is still only given one line - it isn't word 
wrapping to another line - which I think is what you're identifying as a bug.

A bug fix won't change the order of the fields to your preference.

I found in the FGS, when a location was longer than the box, it 
dropped down to the next line. When both description and location 
were too long both dropped down to separate lines - however, if they 
were longer than a line, they were cut off.


With narrative style, everything word wraps.

In the Descendant Book Report - and presumably all Book reports, the 
List style also word wraps.


Here's a work around:

You can set up the event definitions so that they look like a list 
style - and you can choose whichever order you want. You could also 
include [CR] carriage returns so that the description was on a new line.


If you sometimes want to use Narrative style events, then you would 
need to have the Narrative style set up in a special Family File - 
say called Narrative and the list style set up in a special Family 
File - say called Forced List.

Then you would
open your real Family File
go to the Master Event Definition List,
click Options button and choose Import
tick just the Event Definition List
select the relevant file - either Narrative or Forced List
click Import Lists
and in the dialogue choose to overwrite current event with incoming event.

That's some work around but it should work.

In the individual report this translates to:
Associates,  Neighbors: Richard Tree and William Spencer, 10 Feb 
1636/37 in James City County, V~


This one of my shortest fact descriptions so you can understand that 
several do not even show the date or location.


My preference would be to have the date shown after the event type.

I will report this as a bug; but wanted to alert anyone considering 
Legacy for the list option.


Best regards,

B. G.
