I really enjoyed looking at your book example and it's encouraging that it was produced mostly with Legacy reports. As I looked it over, other ideas came to mind and I jotted them down.
I'm not sure what you mean by learning more, but not on PDFs. I have open source software that produces PDF files, but at this point have so much to learn about legacy that it will be awhile before I am at the place of using it. Did you mean more tips on how you enter information into legacy? I am always interested in that, since I still have so much to enter.

Here is a link to a PDF on the site http://www.familytreebooksandcharts.com/products/family-tree-books/example-content/ The book was almost all produced using the “Legacy reports”. Some seasoned users will spot some of the “Legacy” deficiencies, and in fairness to Legacy, if I spent more time mastering all of it’s features, I could probably overcome many of them. > >If anybody wants to learn more (and is prepared to spend a little money buying PDF software) I am more than happy to give you full instructions (not lessons on PDFs). > >Les >Bonnie Scotland > >From: Marg Strong >Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 3:46 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the family info > Actually, I was looking at it more from the viewpoint of printing out a "book" than as a website presentation. I liked the interspersing of images with text since I think the average person not into family history might find that more interesting. I would make changes, but it added to my ideas for presenting a "book." I'm not sure how legacy prints out the media files with reports because I am far from learning that as yet. > > > > >>________________________________ >> From: Sherry/Support <[email protected]> >>To: [email protected] >>Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 6:38 PM >>Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Link to a site that has a nice way of presenting the >>family info >> >>Definitely more contrast!
