Martin,
Just wondering if you are using the windows resize feature correctly... you
should be able to resize each window so that they fit perfectly side by side
on the screen. Font size has nothing to do with window size. Do you know
how to resize the windows? I have worked for years with two
I am working with both Legacy and TNG and recently decided to use the
following simplified folder and naming system. TNG reads Legacy links so
if you upload a Legacy gedcom to your TNG website, all links to photos etc
are updated at same time.
My Photos, source Documents and Histories are in six
Someone on the TNG users group (I am sorry I cannot locate exactly who
posted it or exactly where at this moment) posted on the TNG discussion
group and pointed out that if you put the commonly used name in .
quotations marks, that it will be correctly picked up by TNG as the nickname

I am wondering if this is possible to do, if you kept each program in very

the more complex Version 7, with smaller more branch specific databases.

I guess I could, its no different than intellishare in many ways.

OK. I may do this anyway as it will give me a chance to look at the program
and play with it without upsetting the applecart. I don't use charting
anyway for most part. Thanks for letting me know.

I recently decided to set up website using TNG and Legacy together, so have
set up all my Legacy picture document folders to match the ones in TNG's
default set up. I will be collecting info as usual, adding it to Legacy and
then periodically uploading entire Legacy file (as it grows) to TNG.
I have two ways of doing this. One is in the General notes screen to source
a series of ongoing notes within the note itself. Above each note I put the
source information, then add the note followed by a series of asterisks
(which serve as a divider bar so I can clearly tell where each note
other event is.

I have been a Legacy user for many years (still on Version 6 for stability
and ease of use issues or until Version 7 gets things dramatically smoothed
out). One of the more frustrating aspects of Legacy has been an inabilty to

If I am the keeper of the master file and running on Legacy 6, and another
family member is on Version 7 and sends me their file for merging, will it
work? or do all members of the family who are working on a file all have to

I am glad you are up and running Barbara. For the future I have a

folder I have added folders
