For once, I can confirm this behaviour. At first reading, I was tempted to say that it was another 'design feature' of Bing. But it's not. The mapping does behave in this way. > Note: This is [Mapping] (it's between [Charting] and [Exit] on the main > Legacy window toolbar.

Your second case would appear to be part of the same Issue 1 problem. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
