Re: [LegacyUG] Best practice for adding scans/PDFs of source documents
That only changes the number of pictures that can be shown on the screen. The screen allows scrolling the images when there are more attached than the number on screen. I have seen cases where over 1,000 pictures were attached to a single person.

Re: [LegacyUG] Best practice for adding scans/PDFs of source documents
Hi Folks, This is my first posting, so be kind with your responses. I produce personalised family history books for a living, and to get the best results you need to use more than just Legacy or Word to get a decent finished book (a printed hard copy that is). You can manage (just) using Legacy and PDF creation software such as Acrobat (Nitro is much cheaper to buy for individuals). Myself, I use Legacy to create the usual ancestral/descendant book report and import it into Quark Express (not a low cost product - but there are good DTP programs that will do similar). This is a link to the relevant page on my website (I am not plugging or advertising it - I'm based in Scotland) http://www.familytreebooksandcharts.com/products/family-tree-books/ - but I hope it will give you some fresh ideas for your next family blockbuster. Look at the demo video clip and/or the example content PDF, there is the odd glitch in the PDF although you'll get the idea. The names in the PDF are fictitious, but it won't take rocket science to figure out that it's based on my own family. The montages are created by a simple piece of software from Microsoft.

Re: [LegacyUG] Best practice for adding scans/PDFs of source documents
Since those digital images ARE the sources of your information, it seems appropriate to create a SOURCE for each of those items and attach that digital image to that source. Then when you add a bit of information or an event, you will add the appropriate source and it will already have the digital image saved within. Personally, I also attach my digital images to the events which is probably just double work but it's a step or two quicker for me to see the image and I often like to see the images for my events (like census) I'm not the most experienced pro at using sourcing, pictures, or any of the other fun features Legacy has but that's my simple approach to it.

Only room 6 images shows in the dialog; you can always add more. You do not need to see an empty space to add an image, but if you wish to see more blank spaces, simply click the [+ ] button next to the [Zoom] button.

I was hoping that there would be a way to link the scanned images of the original documents to the sources or better yet to the events as they are listed in Legacy. I was hoping you would be able to help me with what the best practice would be. Right now the best thing I can think of is to put the images into the pictures, but there seems to be only room for 6 images.
