Since the purpose for me of a ToDo report is a document that I can take with me when I am at a repository, I don't think I would want it any larger than 8 1/2 by 11. The information is all there and easily readable. The white space around it is handy for making notes on site, which I can transfer to Legacy when it is more convenient. Much better than a lot of loose notes that don't always make sense later.
Why don't I enter the notes in Legacy as I go? When I am reading microfilms, entering information into my computer is way too awkward. The ToDo report has proved so helpful that I can leave my computer in my hotel room. With my back, that makes a big difference for me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shirley York Anderson [email protected] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My web site: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~syafam/ http://myfamilybrickwalls.blogspot.com/ ________________________________ From: Shack <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, August 18, 2012 12:28:56 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Locality in the ToDo reports Get a printer like the Epson 1400 so you can print on 13" X 19" paper or 11" X 17" (available at your local print shop cheap). Useable charts can then be produced. Landscape is a great way to show more information on a single sheet, especially if it is using larger paper sizes. I use a friend's plotter that will take up to 42" paper on rolls for display at family reunions and the charts are always a hit. Also you can get refillable cartridges on Ebay for the Epson as well as pigment ink in bulk saving you hundreds of dollars over a single year, effectively paying for your printer in a year or two. ----- Original Message ----- >From: SHIRLEY ANDERSON >To: [email protected] >Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2012 11:58 AM >Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Locality in the ToDo reports > > >I use portrait mode.
