Re: [LegacyUG] New to Group
Hi Sandra, Will try to keep simple and hope we don't annoy others that believe this is off topic from Legacy. My Apple Pro is standard then I installed Parallels which allows you to install up to Eight (8) separate operating systems which all run at once. You simply swipe sideways and go to the other system in my case W10. Where I have Legacy installed. So this allows selection of which ever program you prefer under its native operating system. Finally these two OP systems run seamlessly it's an instant change from one to the other I have say iPhotos running on Apple and Legacy8 Deluxe on Windows, and it's easy to view both on split screen moving the mouse one to the other also copying the same way. Hope this helps and should be interesting for all Computer users.

Applies to Family View, Pedigree View, Descendant View, Index View, Name List, Marriage List and possibly others. In Chronology View, it seems to only be applied to non-bolded names (this appears to be a bug). It does NOT apply to the Individual Information screen, where surname is displayed as entered/stored. For Reports, there are separate options for displaying surnames in uppercase under Report Options, Format Tab. Options - Customize 3.3 DOES change how the data is stored. It only affects newly entered data unless you click the Apply button which then changes existing data. This option needs to used with great care.

How do you easily fix the problem of, if you change to ALL CAPITALS then if you convert back to first letter capitols only surnames commencing with MacZyz or McXyz the x and y will be in lower case, and it should not be.

Re: [LegacyUG] Â Â Â
Hi David, Your e-mail was one but yours is not the only one. Thanks Doug Tighe Alan Wakenhut said the following on 5/11/2013 8:58 a.m.: I can normally figure out computer problems but I am still stumped on sharing Legacy using Dropbox.  I have no problem sharing files with Dropbox, as I do this frequently with my clients. My problem is in working on Legacy with a cousin. We want to be able to work on the same file, without having to do frequent mergers. I realize that we will not be able to work on Legacy at the same time.  I can open the original file from Dropbox, as it is a .fdb file which Legacy will open. But when I save the file back to Dropbox it is saved as a .zip file.  Using Windows 7, I can’t figure out how to open this file.    How should I save the Legacy file in Dropbox?   Is it possible to save the file as a .fdb instead of a .zip file?     Thank you,   Al On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 11:47 AM, David Abernathy da...@schmeckabernathy.com wrote: Where are you seeing the usage of this  ?

Re: [LegacyUG] Latitude and Longitude
Hi All, My iPhone has a built in compass which works anywhere even where there is no phone signal. On the bottom of the display its shows Latitude and Longitude. It's important to make sure you record the lat and long as well as the Geodetic Datum, as different parts on the Earth require their individual Datums because the Earth is not perfectly round. I live in Australia, we started using WGS then ADG and now the most up to date is GDA. I don't know the iPhone method of storing the Datum also I don't know whether to use the Compass on True North or Magnetic North and as well the reading can be Latitude degrees, Minutes, Seconds or Lat/Long decimal degrees. I, hoping some of the group can add to this.

I want to climb into remote hills and read my exact location by coordinates. I stumbled onto a small cemetery with a few stone in the mountains this summer with no trails or roadbeds nearby. I did later contact the county and described the location as well as I could. They eventually found it and said they did not know it existed. Secondly, which of the group of coordinates formats does the group believe is the most useful or is it a matter of taste? Thanks.
