I installed Windows 7 Professional over the weekend on my iMac VMware- Fusion and it is working great. Had a few issues, but after using some VMware forum tweaks got it to work great. I still wish I could run Legacy direct on my iMAC, but with Fusion, I seem to be able to use both PC and

Nancy - I use 'Fusion' as a Virtual Machine with Windows XP Professional on my iMAC. Legacy works very well with this combination. I am still trying to find someone who can explain what Windows 7 will do to this configuration. Thus far, I'm told it will not work, but what do I do if

I've encountered a problem that I can find no references in the manual or the help files. It has to do with page numbering in a 'Book/Other -- Descendant Narrative' printing that I want to do. Somehow I managed to get a page numbering system that shows up in the preview as 'Page 2(1044 of

Ron - Thanks for the suggestion - it now works just fine - I had not had occasion to use that feature before. Sometimes the simplest things in life are the ones starring us in the face and we don't even recognize it. Bob On Oct 13, 2009, at 7:51 AM, Ron Ferguson wrote: RUNION

Wendy and others - Thanks for the help. I was at my wits end - not a long journey though - and the suggestion to Options -- Customize -- Data Format and allowing the program to convert all spellings to the format suggested solved the issue. Bob On Sep 10, 2009, at 2:52 AM, Wendy

Dennis - I've not had a lot of experience with the formulas you share with us. Is this a formula applied via Access or one that is from the LTools area? If an Access item, could you steer me to a site that might explain the building and application of the formulas. I have the LTools but

Dennis - Disregard my earlier request for clarification on removing all the burial notes - I was able to apply the formula through the LTools feature on a test of one of my saved files. It works really great, but your 'SQL...' caution is not to be taken lightly! :-) is a veritable axiom
