Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - in Word, etc. ?
Hi Priscilla, When you create web pages in Legacy, they are placed where you tell Legacy where to put them - usually the hard drive of the computer you're working on. As others have said, they won't be online until you upload them to a site. However, when you open any of the pages they will open in your web browser - that's how they work. If you've got more than one browser installed, they will open in the browser set as the default one unless you specify for them to open in another. When you've got a page from Legacy open in your browser, take a look at the address bar - that will tell you where the page resides. If it is on your computer, the address will start with c: or d: or something similar. If it is online, it will start http:// If the address (also called a URL) is too long to show the whole line on your screen, it may show the end or the beginning. If you want to see the other end, click on the address (or press Ctrl-L) and then press the Home key to see the beginning, or the End key to see the end. Hope this helps. :-) Wendy Stu and Priscilla Fanning wrote on 6/03/2015 16:13: Thanks for all of your answers, Charani. Thank you for letting me know that the document is not online.

If it were in Word or some sort of format like that, she could add to it when children are born, or add other information that was important to her. Could someone please walk me through a way to do this?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant Report - in Word, etc. ?
Nothing is online unless you sent the report to a web host. HTML is a web page line format but the file Legacy creates is only on your hard drive or wherever you told Legacy to create the file(s).

I tried the html first. I have two concerns. One is that the lines seem to wrap the text before necessary -- in other words the lines are short and then go on to the next line leaving a large space on the right side of the document. More than that, though, it seems like the document is online. Maybe I should have understood that before making it, but I did not. I don't have permission from my family to put all of this information online. How do I remove it?? I also tried the text file. This also seems to keep all of the text on the left side of the page, wrapping the text before necessary. Any thoughts?

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant report in Word
As Dennis Kowallek indicated in his reply, you are seeing the special
codes inserted into the rtf file for various purposes. The example you
mention is the markup used to tell word to index that name when you
create a name index. I am not expert enough in Word to advise you but
there should be a way to turn off the display of those markups and show
only the resulting text.

RE: [LegacyUG] Descendant report in Word
Elizabeth, Brian,
Brian is correct. The {XE:...} is the rtf mark-up for indexation. To turn off
the RTF code and simply see the report, click the Paragraph marker. This is the
backwards-looking P.
