There is new puzzle about the gaps in the version numbers. The programmers may
well make several new versions before release, especially if a number of issues
are being addressed.

Even the beta testers will see a gap between builds they get.
They're not really release numbers as such but build numbers

The short answer is that there is no such thing as legacy for Mac. It is a

In order to use Legacy on a Mac you must also install windows on the Mac. There

There are very few programs that will make or even open these files.
The WMF is a video file that some sites use by very few.
There are many more NON priority type of file. Yes there are some Wizards that

I think I do the same thing you do with the census summaries, but I get
them mostly from FamilySearch. You're right that if you copy and paste
from Ancestry, you are obliged to close the Notes window, and open it
again, so that the Legacy default font formatting comes into use.

Hi Jay,
I’ve switched to HTML for emphasis.
The included hidden formatting (or possibly HTML code) is not necessarily a
fault of Legacy. When you copy the information from a web site (Ancestry.com)
