I must say I was somewhat concerned when Brian said that a change had been made because of a Problem Report from "a user who uses very verbose descriptions of their photos." It was "A USER" which worried me. Are changes made because it is known that ONE person does something which might only be done by a handful of others? Surely, unless there is an obvious error in the programming things should only be changed because A GREAT MANY people ask for a new feature or a change to an existing one and there is a consensus that it would be an improvement? This particular example, of a neat and economic layout of scrap-book pages no longer being possible, does seem to be a retrograde step. -- 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).
