You cannot simply change the file extension (the three letters after the dot in the filename) as the extension is specific to the type of file. A Word document is essentially what it wounds like, a document of words, although it might have pictures included with or without the words. JPG is a picture format. If you take a photograph of a headstone you probably unload it from your camera/'phone as a .jpg. > > It's the Legacy clipboard that I believe is the problem.

When you want to attach a new document you must tell Legacy where the file is saved and what the name of it is so that Legacy can load it and you use the File button. When you want to attach a picture you do the same, but use the Picture button. If you are still having problems please tell us *exactly* what you are doing, step by step, so we can see where you are going wrong. -- 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).
