If you attach documents to Legacy, for example .pdf or .doc files you are really only creating a LINK in Legacy and when you want to view the files they will open in the default program for that type of file. You cannot automatically include the contents of such a document in a Report. However, what you can do is use the Publishing Centre to create "books" with blank page and you then substitute the blank pages with the print-outs of the files you want to include. Photographs (.jpg for example) are slightly different in that although Legacy only includes a link to the photo, it does have its own view so you can look at the picture from within Legacy and do some basic editing. Photos can be included in most reports, with some restrictions - it varies from one report to another. -- 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).
