The # of the blank citation is not used anywhere in the report as far as I can tell. It happens on the first citation sometimes, but also on citations throughout the list. Has anyone experienced this problem and discovered its source? It seems like a data problem to me, but I don't know where to start looking. Following is copy of what I sent in to Legacy, just fyi. Thanks in advance, --Paula in Texas Ancestor book Report options Sources tab Print source citations As endnotes at the end of the book Do NOT combine into one paragraph Indent first line Include surety level (nothing else checked to include) A few of the sources print as just the number in the end notes list.

Ruth, The problems with the Indexing of AKA's as well as the missing Children of ... sentences are documented in our problem reporting system. Note: The Wording 1 tab also includes the preamble for Events for the person and the marriage. Those are also missing in RTF reports and might explain why there is no line between the main data and the list of events. I was not able to confirm the problem with no blank line between the main data and general notes. When I tested the report there was a blank line for those people who had general notes.

[LegacyUG] BOOK FORMAT QUESTIONS
When making a book, the names change at the top of the screen to the last person I've gone to on the main Legacy screen. Is this right? Sometimes I forget to change it. What difference does it make? New pictures I just put in from the Picture Center started duplicating again in the book. I called the book showing photo 2 as a title so I can get to the problem. The other book, Richard Ashby Johnson b 1927, only shows one picture of my husband. Has it got something to do with the number of pictures I show on a page? And where do I get to that (I forget easily? What am I not understanding? Also, could someone tell me HOW I get the individual picture screen to show up to 25 pictures (cannot remember that either)? I have looked at the Picture CD many times. IDEA: Could the title of the book show somewhere on the Publishing Center Page? I have about four now. It seems to take a long time to go back to the SAVE AS page. How does that work?

Re: [LegacyUG] Re: Estern European characters in name and place fields
Do you mean, that o and ó should not alphabetized together, as happens when found in 'English' setups. I use the Swedish language, which puts the 3 extra letters at the end, and not intermixed with a and o. Until the first Cyrillic list is added to Legacy, it will be a painful wait. Before finding L5, my previous programs did not understand it either. Even before the Swedish 'forms' were added, it worked. Hope it comes soon, I need it for Polish, Russian, and Lithuanian also.

I exited Legacy and reopened it. I clicked on Tools then Picture Center, then Browse button. I see three open folders. Top to bottom they are C:\ then Legacy then BackGrnd. Strictly speaking, you are seeing just *one* open folder, which is C:\Legacy\BackGrnd. Looking at that little screen (after clicking browse) double-click on Legacy. You will then see a list of all the folders within the Legacy folders. Scroll down to the one named Pictures, double-click on it to open it. As you have no pictures in Legacy yet, you will not see any in there, but when you do add some, that is where they will be if you put them in the usual place. It is perfectly acceptable to keep pictures in any folder or several and have Legacy access them, but it keeps life simple (especially if you are fairly new to Legacy and/or computers) if you keep them all in that default place. (On my computer, I have quite a complex structure of folders and subfolders with all my genealogy photographs sorted by family, but all the ones I want to show within Legacy I have made copies of (often smaller than the original) and have the copies in C:\Legacy\Pictures. That way, there is only one place for Legacy to look and only one place for me to look if anything goes wrong, but I can always get a fresh copy of a photo if necessary.) -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asphttp://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asphttp://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asphttp://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] BOOK FORMAT QUESTIONS
Nina K. Johnson wrote When making a book, the names change at the top of the screen to the last person I've gone to on the main Legacy screen. Is this right? Yes, quite normal. All reports default to the person or couple on the screen when you open the Report menu. Sometimes I forget to change it. What difference does it make? Whenever you select a Report to form a new chapter for your book it will be based on the person showing as Current Person or the couple showing as Current Couple. You may want the same person as the focus for every chapter of the book, but you may not so you need to select the right person or couple accordingly. New pictures I just put in from the Picture Center started duplicating again in the book. I called the book showing photo 2 as a title so I can get to the problem. As requested before, you need to say where they are appearing and how your book is made up. For example, what chapters/reports have you included? Are the duplicates appearing all in the same chapter or in different ones? Could it be that you have selected 2 different reports which both include the same picture. For example, you might make a book which includes 2 chapters which both include Joe Bloggs and his photo will appear in both chapters The other book, Richard Ashby Johnson b 1927, only shows one picture of my husband. Has it got something to do with the number of pictures I show on a page? I wouldn't have thought so. And where do I get to that (I forget easily? What am I not understanding? Do you mean in a Picture Scrapbook as a chapter in a book? If so, it's Edit Settings for Current Chapter... then Options. If you are finding it difficult to remember how to do things, why not write down the steps you take each time you do something new, such as create a book? If you find something goes wrong you can change your steps a little next time and once you have a set of instructions which work you can keep them to use next time. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - question re software corruption
Tim: Per your request for a repost of my problem and Dennis' solution, here they are. My original problem: I have never changed a RIN. I have changed MRINS. When I view the INDEX, I show up as my maiden name and as my married name correctly as RIN #1. I also show up for my married name as RIN #8 which is my husband's grandfather with all of his information in all columns except the name column (his grandfather also correctly shows up as RIN #8). I.E. #1 is my maiden name and my married name (correct). RIN #8 is my married name (incorrect) and my husband's grandfather (correct). When I double click my listing for the incorrect RIN #8, my husband's grandfather pops on the screen. The same situation has occurred for my husband's grandmother (correctly RIN #7 for married and maiden name) whose married name also shows as RIN #2 which is my husband with all of his information in all columns except the name column (my husband also correctly shows up as RIN #8). When I double click my husband's grandmother's listing for the incorrect RIN #2, my husband pops on the screen. The same situation has occurred for my husband's aunt (correctly RIN #11 married and maiden name) whose married name also shows as RIN #3 which is my father with all of his information in all columns except the name column (my father also correctly shows up as RIN #3). When I double click my husband's aunt's listing for the incorrect RIN #3, my father pops on the screen. The three errors occurred with RIN 1 (me), 2 (my husband) and 3 (my father) and only for the married name of the women. These errors also show up when using the SEARCH function. Any ideas how to correct these 3 additional assigning of incorrect RIN #s for the married names of the 3 women? Dennis' solution: Cathy and I have (sort of) resolved this off list. I thought I would post the solution for anyone else that sees this problem. I took a look at Cathy's tblNX. tblNX contains, among other things, the married names. Her tblNX married names were all dorked up. I suggested she turn off married names, then turn them back on. This caused the married names to be regenerated and solved her immediate problem. The bigger question remains ... what dorked it up in the first place? Was there a bug at one point that later got fixed? If so, shouldn't the new release have rebuilt the married names? Or is there still a bug out there? Cathy Vallevieni Orange County, CA At 06:53 AM 6/3/2009, you wrote: Cathy, I never saw Dennis' reply to your problem. Could you or Dennis repost his reply please ? Tim Rosenlof Just saw my own post come in from me that Ronald had fixed the problem. Good News ! Cathy Vallevieni wrote: This sounds a bit like my problem where the same person was showing up twice in the Index (Name List) and one of them showed all the information of an incorrect person except the name, was attached to the spouse of the wrong person and when you clicked Family to go to that person, it took you to the incorrect person. (Man, this is confusing!) Dennis Kowallek, maybe you can confirm that this sounds similar to my problem and perhaps the same solution will work for her that you suggested for me? Lisa, I'm not saavy enough to give you advice, so wait for *Dennis'* comment.

I have been using Legacy for the past few years and have been extremely happy with the programme. I am using Legacy 7 and regularly check for upgrades. I am using Windows Vista. Today I opened my file to discover that when I click on one of the children in one of my families (A) I am taken to a totally different individual (B) with no links whatsoever to the first person (A). I have opened the Name List window and can select the individual from that window (A) the correct parents etc are shown in the right-hand window but Spouse information for person B is shown. When I Select person A from this window I am taken to person B with no connection to person A at all. Person A never married and I have no marriage links at all for them. When I go into Person B directly there is no common information or link to Person A. These two people are from totally different branches totally different names no connection at all. I have a backup copy of my data but this has shaken my confidence in the programme Im not sure now how widespread this problem might be I have over 3,000 individuals in my file. Has anyone else experienced this type of issue any suggestions for fixing it?

[LegacyUG] RE: PICTURE PROBLEMS in Books
Jenny Benson wrote: As requested before, you need to say where they are appearing and how your book is made up. For example, what chapters/reports have you included? Are the duplicates appearing all in the same chapter or in different ones? Nina writes: The chapter names are (3 only) at the moment: Ancestor Book Report: Richard Ashby Johnson Ancestor Book Report: Nina Kathryn Johnson (that's me) Picture Scrapbook: Richard Ashby Johnson . I've been trying to switch things around as to WHO is in the Chapter Names, but The duplicates mostly appear in the Picture Scrapbook Pages with 9 per page. I'll bet there are duplicates other chapters, as I know the Sources are problematic, too. I'm trying to get my Photo Scrapbook first. Goeff Rasmussen is going to be presenting a seminar in Hemet, CA which is near me (25 miles) . . . I hope to go. I am disabled with Multiple Sclerosis and am in motorized wheelchair most of the time, but it doesn't slow me down much . . . My husband tries to write me speeding tickets!!! I'm probably an intermediate in computer knowledge, so I'm told, but I sure think I have more to learn from Legacy. Legacy is a wonderful program, and I recommend it all the time. Should I send you the books I'm working on OFFLINE? How does that work? LUG for me has been such a help. Thank you for all your help . . . and please just keep asking me questions. I live in Murrieta, CA. You are in Great Britain, right? Are you in the same area as Ron Furgusen that gives LUG members such great answers.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy seminar video testing
How long will they stay available at those links, and if they will be taken down at some point, is there a way to download so we can refer to them at our leisure?
