Margaret, No, the items open ok in Word or Word pad, and when I copy and paste them into Legacy Notes they appear ok, but I save it and then go into it later, it is just all of these figures and letters. It used to work ok once, but not any more. The computer is only 18 months old and quite powerful and no other problems. To overcome the problem I have been entering these notes into the pictures and it works ok, but would like to put them where they should go. The notes that I entered before the last few months, are still quite ok.

Re: [LegacyUG] Please help
Guy, Sounds like the cut and paste process is including all the hidden formatting codes from Word or Wordpad. Try to paste the text into the Notepad program first. That should remove any formatting codes. Then copy the text from the notepad to Legacy and see if that solves your problem. Unfortunately, I am not experienced enough to know how to fix the process so that you wouldn't need that extra step.

In other words, are you copying the same text from the same place and pasting it into the same field in Legacy? If the answer is yes, it suggests there is a problem with the Legacy database on your pc, so I would suggest that firstly you backup your database and then run File MaintenanceCheck/Repair from the File menu.

Re: [LegacyUG] To Do list for a certain cemetery
Gary, I would just add an event called tombstone to each person Put the cemetery name in the location field Put Missing in the description field Then just do a search for that event name and location and create a printed report. (Remember to add the spouses name as one of the items in your report so that you can see that when you print your list because cemetery stones rarely have maiden names. ) After you have taken the photos, you can attach the pic to that event and remove the Missing text from the description field and you have saved keystrokes for both adding the photo and removing the 'to-do But I am sure you will get several suggestions, one hopefully will work best for you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Log of Changes
Not that I am aware of, I do not think Access works like that so we cannot ask MS Access what changed and Legacy just saves all the data from an input screen without doing a before and after comparison of every data item.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to deal with group photos within Legacy
There are several ways to accomplish this: 1. Within the image “editing” of Legacy, is the “Description” of the image. In there you can add the names from the back of the photo. When printing out reports that include images, you must then put a checkmark by the “Include Description” option for Pictures. The downside of this is that if the list of names is large, then the Caption and Description under the picture when printed in a report would tend to look much larger than the actual picture. 2. You could also just create a text note for the main person that the image is attached to… but remember that the note and the image have no direct link to each other. It’s just a means for you to enter and keep the names somewhat handy and informative. 3. If you’re feeling really energetic, use a photo editing program to crop and/or resize the image and create a small white border at the bottom of the photo. In that white border, enter the names and other info. When saved, all that text becomes part of the actual image. The downside of this is that when the picture is printed in a report, such text at the bottom of the image is probably too small to read in the report (unless you create a custom size large picture for the report). 4. My favorite method is to add the names and info to the metadata of a JPEG image (not a TIFF). When you attach that image within Legacy, it will ask if you want to include such info which then gets automatically input as the Description for that image. The upside of this method is that such metadata is part of the image and not really part of Legacy so that whenever you re-use that same JPEG image over again in Legacy for whatever reason, that same metadata has not been lost and once again gets re-imported into Legacy automatically. Others may have more suggestions.

My son recently was married and many family members attended. I copied the appropriate pictures to each person's picture gallery. I did not think of adding it under the Marriage Gallery. I have to go back and look at that; thanks for the thought.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to deal with group photos within Legacy
Hi Jacob I attach a group photo (jpg) 1st as a normal picture, then I attach the same picture as a file. When I click on the file attached picture it opens in Google's Picasa because that is my default program for jpg, (Picasa is free.) Picasa allows me to identify and tag faces so that when I hover the mouse over a face it identifies the individual. -- Richard Van Wasshnova On Fri, Jul 19, 2013 at 12:08 PM, Jacob Psutka 4freeb...@gmail.com wrote: I will be receiving a marriage group photo with the participants names on the back of the photo.
