Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book

[Cathy Pinner]

John,

If you haven't watched this Free Webinar on Word, I suggest you do 
unless you know Word really, really well - and it sounds like you don't.
You'll need to understand Styles etc to get a good book out of Word and 
to successfully combine Legacy RTF with the pieces you are preparing to 
add to it.


Microsoft Word Series - #1 Getting Started with Microsoft Word
by Thomas MacEntee

Note there are other webinars on Word as well but they're not free.
You need to subscribe to the Legacy Webinars to view the others.

My basic question is whether others have had problems preparing
printed books in MS Word. If so, which alternative word processing
program would they suggest? I get nervous about doing complex things
on computers, so try to foresee and prevent problems, rather than
sorting out messes later on.

I have been gradually preparing pages in MS Word, to be later inserted
where Place Holder pages have been set aside via the Legacy Publishing
Center. In them, I have inserted high resolution photos, maps etc.
Could large file sizes cause problems e.g. Does MS Word have a small
clipboard or memory which does not handle rearranging chapters or
pages with high resolution images?

I presume that when you save a book in the Publication Center as an
RTF file, it would be compatible with any word processing program.

When everything is just right, I intend to save the whole book as a
PDF file before printing.

Re: [LegacyUG] Question re V.9

[Sherry]

Ok - it never hurts to check with Support to see what the status is. The
more people who ask for it, the greater the chance of a feature being
added. As the old saying goes "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"

It would  be great to have several different searches on the Master Source
List. Sometimes we didn't do a good job of Source List names and can't
remember how we indexed the source that we're looking for..

Thanks, Sherry.  I think you had told me that before.

 

But I have a need to frequently search by File ID while “within” Legacy because 
all my sources and images are connected by the File ID.  Right now, all my 
sources (I’m and extreme splitter, by the way) are named “1234 – Source Name” 
and their associated images are named “1234.jpg”.  I can now find the sources 
easily in the Master Source List because they are sorted numerically.  But I’d 
prefer they were named “Source Name 1”, “Source Name 2”, etc, so that similar 
sources would be grouped together in the Master Source List, such as “1930 US 
Census, IA, Pottawattamie, Council Bluffs”; “1930 US Census, IA, Pottawattamie, 
Neola”; etc.  I’d still have the source-image connection via the FileID.  But 
to quickly fine a specific source in the Master Source List, I’d need to be 
able to search by FileID.

 

I was just hoping that this capability was going to be in V.9.

You can do that now, in a round-about way.

Go to Reports > Other Reports > File ID and create the File ID for Master 
Sources and/or Source Citations.

That's in order by the File ID so you can easily find the source by the File ID.
