Barbara, Have you searched the archives yet for "photographs" or "attach pictures" etc ? Just a suggestion.
Here are my thoughts: 1. You can attach a picture to anyone/anything that has the little picture icon -or- you can use the picture center >> search the Help for details on both of these 2. If your pictures are not digital, then scan them and save them (at least) into the C:\Legacy\Pictures folder (I say "at least" because some people make subfolders in that folder to help organize their pictures) >> also consider a naming convention that doesn't involve the use of spaces (search the archives for some examples) 3. Do not use PDF - that's not really for pictures - I use JPG for the pictures in the Legacy Pictures folder 4. Most people recommend saving you pictures in a better format than JPG for permanent storage (e.g., BMP, GIF, TIFF... I am not an expert), then make a JPG copy (lower resolution & smaller file size) for use in Legacy 5. Search the Help for that proper size question... I assume you mean size to print on the paper? Then attach a few and run some reports to see how it looks before you attach them all that way and find out you don't like it. Good luck! --Paula ________________________________ From:Barbara <[email protected]> To:[email protected] Sent: Wed, April 25, 2012 11:58:48 AM Subject: [LegacyUG] New: How to attach a picture in file I have updated Legacy Deluxe using Windows. I've never attached picutres and now want to. 1) How do attach a photo? I want them with my individuals and to show up on the reports 2) I have a scanner. Should I use that then save to my pictures file and then download to Legacy? If so do I save to pdf or something else? 3) How to get the proper size?
