The interesting thing I learned when I posted in the Google+ Stream yesterday after the webinar is that Marian does not use Legacy to any great extent - I don't know if it is because she does research for clients or if she is in process of changing programs BUT I also wanted to know how you incorporate the types of forms she uses with Legacy, how you make sure you are not doing lots of double entries, and how you keep track of all those research "documents/forms" in your filing system (be it paper based or computer based) and how you note it in Legacy. That was the question I asked in my post and while I liked the look of her forms and definitely see their use - I do write up research plans - how do we incorporate with to-dos, and where do you take it from there. One thing I wish we had in Legacy in the ability to place in a Research Manager (similar to RootsMagic). I realize that Geoff plans to do a webinar about using To-Dos so I hope it incorporates how to "reuse" Marian's forms in his presentation. In the meantime, what do others do?
