Thanks Bob, under Pictures, I'm trying to link a Word file in 'Files.' I save a lot of things in Word because it's faster/easier/some editing, than finding a place to save jpg. Yes, I use Win7/Office 2010, haven't had a problem with other software; would Legacy change the file extension? Guess I have to go back through the Word hdstns and change them all to jpg!
It's the Legacy clipboard that I believe is the problem. I can copy the 'new' hdstn in Word and save it to another location. Legacy is keeping the unedited file and uses it every time I try to link the new one. Betty FL Not quite sure what you are doing! Why would you try to save a Word doc? Why wouldn't you keep it a JPG and link the JPG? I am assuming you actually have Word on your computer. If not, the file will open in the next-best thing, Wordpad. If you do have Word, then your file associations got a little mixed up and you would have to change that in Windows. Some versions of Windows Clipboard will allow you to save up to 24 [I think] different things in the clipboard, but when you paste it will ask you which of the 24 you want to paste? bob ________________________________ From: "BF" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 2:39:46 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] How to Clear the Clipboard I'm a relatively new Legacy user: I entered a Word 'file' of a headstone. It was too big and needed cropping, which I did. Also changed the name. But every time I attempt to add the new file it loads the old file, even tho I'm clicking on the new file name! I deleted the old file. I tried adding a wrong file to see if that changed the clipboard - nope. How to clear the clipboard? I want to add several hdstns from Word as 'files' so would like to find the answer before the problem arises again. Also it opens in Wordpad, can I change it open in Word? At one point it asked me something like 'insert from Windows clipboard?' I said yes - after I copied it, got the same old file result. Could not get that option to try again, and again... Just spend a lot of time in Archives, but with a lot of the info being from 07, wonder if a lot of those Q&As might have been addressed in the software by now. (Didn't find this particular question.) Thanks.
