Do you presume all second marriages emanate from marriages that ended in
divorce? I would not want to capture this data due to the highly inaccurate
and sloppy record keeping that is available to us searchers. Could lead to
highly flawed conclusions.
Just a thought.

Recently someone commented on the idea of creating a Cemetery Event
because there is no way to print Burial Event pictures in any Legacy
reports. Horrors! I am about 90% done in inputting pictures from a
marathon gravestone photographing trip, needless to say, all put into the
Burial events.
I just tested the Family Group Sheet and the burial picture was included
there when I turned on the option for event pictures in the Include tab
of the report options screen. I suggest you experiment with other reports.

Just FYI --
I just did a quickie check with a birth picture set to preferred (and made
sure the report options were set to print the pictures). I did family

ancestor reports in v.6. The family group sheet was the

This would be a good topic for Legacy News.
What is picture reduction width? I haven't found any explanation in the Help

Please check a Descendant Narrative with embedded pictures saved as RTF for
Asa Brown using the sample file and see if you get size 6 font for some of
Asa's event notes after the census image. I'm using Word 2000 and Windows XP
on this computer. Online update, no USR files deleted (yet.)
Some Legacy customers like links for easy reference to event pictures. I
don't add event pictures to real files *unless* they can be printed a useful
size in a Legacy Narrative. Source pictures in endnotes can be a different
size than report pictures but they don't replace pictures beside the
As I get this I can have the burial pictures only if I print in a series
of family group sheets instead of a narrative, not what I wanted to do. I
know if I get the narrative into Word (via PDF) I can paste the photos in,
but that makes this a big item for the wish list for me.
Is there any way

With the new release, I am thinking about taking the plunge and

the cartoony look have gotten used to the icons and the way the

I for one much prefer the delux version 6 to that of version 5 (even though

One thin you might want to do:
Install V. 5 in a new location. Then install V. 6 in the default location.
As there won't be many if any more updates to V. 5, this should solve your
streamlined approach for V. 6.
As for the Cartoony look, I never had a problem with it. I adapted fine

Good idea.
By the way, is this the end of v5 and v6 being able to share the same file?

We won't be doing any more work on v5 but we did a new v5 build yesterday that
