It makes no difference whether you are using SourceWriter or Basic Sourcing, to add a file which is not in a picture format (picture formats are .jpg, .tif. .bmp etc) you must use the File button. The first steps are the same as for adding a picture, you select the Multimedia tab and click on the Picture button. On the next screen you select the File button, NOT the Picture button. (Unless you are attaching a Sound or Video file, which have their own buttons.) Legacy defaults to All Files so whichever folder you point it to, all the files in that folder will be listed and you just select the one you want. You will not be able to view the document within Legacy in the same way that you view a photograph. You need to click on the link and the document will open in its native program. Similarly, to include it with a Report you will need to print it from its own native program and add it to your printed Report. -- Jenny M Benson 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).
