Legacy tips Sept 26, 2008
Question from a Legacy user,
/Can I do a Split Screen View with the Internet as one of the screens?/
Great question! Yes, you can do this with Legacy. It sure makes it nice
to be able to see both your Legacy data /and/ the Internet at the same
time. Follow these step-by-step instructions.
1.
With Legacy 6/7 open, click on the *View* menu, then click on
*Split Screen View*.
2.
Click *No*. Two copies of your family file are now visible,
side-by-side.
3.
On one of the sides, click on the *Legacy Home* tab.
4.
In the *Address* field, type in the website you want to view and
click *Go*. (Of course, you need to be connected to the Internet
first.)
You can now browse the Internet on the right side. When you locate
information, you can copy and paste it into your Legacy file on the left
side.
