You could print through the View Scrapbook but there are better ways of printing one picture. Open it in your picture editor. If you don't have one, try one of the free ones. Faststone Image Viewer Irfanview Picasa there's heaps of them. Cathy At 02:39 PM 1/01/2014, you wrote: Can I print a

Hi Kim, It would help a little to know why and where you want to show end of line. Legacy has a couple of tools that may help and save using up a tag number. I don't use tags for things that can be found easily - but this is where the why and where comes in. Legacy has a search that will find

Hi Dave, If the relinker isn't finding them, I think you'll find they're named differently in some slight way - or you aren't making a new list. Did you check the missing files list to see how they were named? Cathy At 01:39 AM 2/01/2014, you wrote: I think all the files may have been missing

Hi all, The Picture Centre in Legacy 7 and 8 only handles graphics. True it is fairly good at remembering the captions etc you add to the picture. However if you move computer or folder and don't take the right piclist.dbm with you, you have lost them. It's not intended to be permanent. The
