Kay, I'm so sorry you're having to go through all of this work again. I don't really have a suggestion other than to maintain the exact folder structure. If doing that, I'd expect you could just open each folder and have Legacy recognize the photos and files again but I can't confirm this behavior with Legacy.
Actually, in my Legacy photo albums, if I attach a pdf file in the album by clicking on 'file', I can see an icon (the video icon is what is attached to the pdf file) in the album and if I click on the icon, the pdf file will open. I can't speak to a rtf file and how it would display in the album on the computer screen as I've never attempted to attach this file format. I'd expect it would display on screen like a pdf file. I think the only files that will be included and PRINT in a photo album are the photos. I'm using the 7.5 deluxe version of Legacy. Mary -----Original Message----- From: Sherry/Support [mailto:[email protected]] Kay, PDF and RTF files can be attached in the Picture Gallery using the "File" button in the Deluxe Edition or a Sound or Video button in the Standard Edition. Only pictures will show in a Photo Album or Scrapbook although all multimedia files will be included in the Multimedia List created through View > Scrapbook.
