I too switched from FTM. I started with FTM with their very first version.
I switched when they went to their new "look." It was the best thing I
could have ever done. Legacy is a much better program. The first time I
ran the potential problems report I was SHOCKED! Now I can run it with zero
errors. My locations are completely uniform. My reports print out
predictable and uniformally.
I too moved from the free version of Legacy to the complete version and at
that time I did get the user's manual. It is well worth the extra money. I
also invested in the companion videos which were VERY helpful. You learn
all of the shortcuts and tricks. I also bought the pdf "The Legacy Family"
by Mark Lang. It is a great complement to the user's manual.
How much I spent for the program, pdfs and the videos is a drop in the
bucket compared to what I spend on genealogy in general :) :) :) It was a
very good investment.

Bill,
You will be happy you made the switch! I made the move to Legacy from FTM
2009. I am still "cleaning up". It is so much nicer to be able to include so
much more information for a more complete picture, so at the end of clean up
it will have been worth it. Sources is the area I could use seasoned users
suggestions on the organization of!

Thanks. I will probably purchase it this week. My transition from FTM 2009
to Legacy is not an easy one and will take a long time to convert
everything.
I hope in the next version they have more options for importing other than
PAF and GEDCOM, but I know how other companies are about protecting their
code. I'm simultaneously updating FTM 2009 at the same time as Legacy in
case I have to re-import again after screwing things up.
I used The Master Genealogy as a bridge between the two since it uses
GenBridge and can read FTM2008/2009 files. I upgraded to FTM 2010, but it
is a lot worse than 2009 so I switched to Legacy and plan to dump FTM once
I'm finished cleaning up.

I purchased my PDF manual at the same time I upgraded from free Legacy 7 to
the Deluxe Version, about a month ago. I am sure one of the Millenia people
will help you get one.

Is there a PDF manual available
online for Legacy 7? I looked in all the
program folders and only found the help, but I prefer
something that does
into more detail.
I am thinking more along the lines of the one that would be
included with
the software, but has to be purchased. Most software
companies give you a
PDF reference manual for free and allow you to purchase the
printed version.
Apparently this company doesn't do that.
Since I have converted all my data over to Legacy 7 Deluxe
from Family Tree
Maker 2009, I have a lot of issues to clean up. I
find a user's manual
better than the in-program help because I can't seem to
find what I'm
looking for.
