Ron Ferguson would probably be your "go to guy" for this one. I hope he does respond via the group because I am also very interested in this. He is the one who has mentioned those problems with converting files for web use. He has an awesome website you should check out sometime. (his website is listed at the end of his posts after his name) This is probably considered off-topic but of general interest, so I don't know how it will be handled. If Ron does respond privately, I would ask for you to forward his response to me as well :-) Thanks, Kathy (the last time someone brought up a subject like that, I commented that I thought it was on topic because Legacy does provide website creation --- but one of the other members took exception to that generalization)
