Cathy, Legacy can save pretty well all text formats, but instead of saving using the picture button, use the file button on the right. This will attach the file to the Event, Source etc. Do note, however, that they will not (for obvious reasons) appear in reports etc. If you call the file from within Legacy it will open in the appropriate program as set by yourself (Options>Customise>Launch).

I have been able to save pictures/photos to the clipboard including images of death registers thus far. As I am adding photos related to individuals, I am setting up a folder system as Geoff Rasmusen had suggested for the Country, State, County, etc. I was trying to pull in a .txt document to go along with a photo of a tombstone, but from what I have read in the Help list, Legacy does not support this type of document. I have tried saving the document a different way to the County folder and Windows 7 would not let me do it. As I am typing I am thinking perhaps that I should scan the document. Any suggestions? Also, how would you treat a word document that you want an image of rather than clipping and pasting in research notes, details, etc. Cathy 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
