Re: [LegacyUG] Media issue - Error 3163
Hi Elizabeth, The very long path you give suggests some are linked from within a media backup. You may be able to sort it out by going to View - Master Lists - Media Folder List and changing any wrong folders to the ones that actually exist. You do this by highlighting the path that needs to be changed and then clicking the change button and navigating to the correct folder. Before doing this you might check with the Tools - Media Relinker that all media is currently linked and then start in the Master list by purging unused folders. Another way is to set Options - Customise 6.2 to a new location for your media and using the Media Gatherer to move all media to that folder.

[LegacyUG] Vision problem with Legacy
Sherry, I believe that you may be able to help me here. A friend of a friend sent me this email. ... Are you aware of anyone with Vision problems using Legacy ? If so what settings are they using ? I have a friend who has Legacy 7 on a Notebook, but when they change to Legacy settings to high Contrast, are unable to see a lot the content. . As high Contrast is a windows feature and may not affect colour in Legacy, I sent instructions to change colours in both Legacy 7 8. There seems to be more choice in 8.

RE: [LegacyUG] Check/Repair Steps
Sherry I expected as much but thought I'd give it a try anyway. Because I load and manipulate large amounts of data directly to the database using Microsoft Access rather than the Legacy front end program, I thought it would be useful to know all the things the check/repair routine already checks for so that I can make sure that my own data upload and manipulation routines are consistent with these. I already know some of the things it checks for as a result of mistakes I have made when uploading data in the past, and have needed to restore a backup as a result. I run check/repair at least once every day and after each data upload or data manipulation routine when doing these so it is a feature of the Legacy program that I very much rely on and appreciate.

Re: [LegacyUG] Vision problem with Legacy
Judy, There's an extensive article in our Knowledge Base at http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00401 which discusses ways of customizing Windows and Legacy to help with visual impairments. A lot of the customizing choices depends on the visual difficulty as we all seem to need something different, so there will be some trial and error to find out what fits for your friend's friend. Legacy does not do well with Windows High Contrast and that's been reported to the programmers to see if it's something they can resolve.

Re: [LegacyUG] Vision problem with Legacy
Font sizes and styles can be changed via the Customise option. For most people, Times New Roman font is the easiest to read, especially when reading for long periods. The Customise option also allows (limited) changing of background colours. I suffer from Irlen Syndrome form of dyslexia, where changing background brightness or colours (i.e. different parts of the light spectrum) can improve to reading ability or efficiency or reduce eye strain. Individuals vary in regard to which colours help them. For me, backgrounds of soft greens, blues and greys are best.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem Exporting Legacy Chart to PDF Format
George, You can get a small chart of 4-5 generations on one page, but not a larger one, as Brian said, nor automatically. To get a small chart on one page, click on the Drag all individuals button on the side toolbar (it's the third from the bottom), grab the chart and move it to the far upper left. You will also have to adjust the Sizing Options and Title on the Appearance ribbon to squeeze the boxes together.

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to create a new page size, but haven't figured out if that is possible yet. I have also noticed a page size called Postscript Custom Page Size, but that doesn't seem to do anything (as far as I can tell). Is there a way from within Legacy Charting to force everything to fit on one page? Thanks.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem Exporting Legacy Chart to PDF Format
Brian / Sherry: Greetings. Two questions: (1) Is there any way to force a printout to fit on one page? (2) Is there any way to change the paper size (so that I can make a huge page)? With either of those workarounds, I believe that I could then print the chart to a PDF printer as you suggested.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem Exporting Legacy Chart to PDF Format
Brian: Thanks for all of your help. I have successfully created a workaround that will fit my needs (although it isn't as easy as it would be if I could just hit the Export to file button). I was able to create a custom page size (120 wide x 20 high in my case) for the PDF995 print driver. (You can find instructions for how to do that here: http://www.pdf995.com/faq2.html) I was then able to print the chart to the custom page size and it all came out on one page. Success! I hope that your team will be able to figure out the issue with Legacy Charting soon. Although this works for me, I will need to create a custom page size for every chart that I want to print. Have a great day.

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem Exporting Legacy Chart to PDF Format
Brian: * In the PDF995 Virtual Printer I am able to change paper sizes to many **different sizes. It includes banner type pages up to 24x108 or 36x108. **Try using a page size where the whole chart fits on one page then the **PDF will be a single page. * Yes, I was just playing with that. The problem is that the chart is extremely wide and most of those options are for a tall page (and not a wide page). I have chosen a page that is 92x92 and the chart is still slightly wider than that and printing on two pages (but barely). I am trying to figure out if there is a way to create a new page size, but haven't figured out if that is possible yet. I have also noticed a page size called Postscript Custom Page Size, but that doesn't seem to do anything (as far as I can tell). *Is there a way from within Legacy Charting to force everything to fit on one page?* Thanks.
