When opening an Individual Information window, the cursor will automatically appear in the next empty vitals field. Many times people have a birth date entered but no christening or baptism date entered, thus the cursor will appear in that empty field. So what you are seeing is a normal

Brian, you had said Alt spacebar in your prior email, which is why I tried that.  I tried Alt Tab, and the only Legacy window that comes up is the Add a New Master Source dialog box which I am in at this point, with the run-time error 9 box which comes up as soon as I try to save the screen.  I

Hi Kathy, There is some advantage to having the images and other files attached to Legacy in their own file structure rather than mixed with images and files that will never be attached. One of the reasons I use a separate folder for pictures attached to Legacy is that I don't attach my archive

Clicking on Alt Tab simultaneously brings up the menu you cited, as well as the run-time error '9' menu.  The move/close menu appears on top of the error menu.  I am able to move the run-time error 9 menu around the screen after clicking on move, but this buys me nothing.  If I click on OK on the

I know we have a choice of where to store images and that either is ok, but I wonder if anyone has any very positive or negative feedback about these options. I haven't had the vast majority of my images attached in years; I'm sure some sort of error on my part caused the disconnect and I know I

Marianne, I actually have that book so I took a look. You can get this by doing an Ancestor Book report but in the Report Options uncheck everything. You will only have one extra line after each ancestor and that will be who they married. Take a look at it and see what you think. You can

I have requested this type of report in the past. I think it would be a good thing, if possible, to be able to select the details that one would wish to include. For example, one could include the birth and death dates, and/or place, even spouses name, or not, as desired. Would that be hard to

If you have a window behind others that you want to access, you can minimize all the ones that are in the way. Or you can try ALT-TAB..I'm not sure about ALT-SPACEBAR and if Microsoft changed anything in Win 8 but in all previous versions of Windows it was ALT-TAB that is used to cycle
