Michele, I have been "away" from the group for a few months, but does Legacy now allow you to view/open PDF files within the app?
Ed, I was going to suggest you copy/paste the text of the story into the Notes of an EVENT, rather than the General Notes. If the story is in a separate file, it won't show up in any of your reports. (as I understand report generation in Legacy) So, it depends on how you want to use the story in the future. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Michele/Support <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2014 9:20 AM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Lengthy notes in Legacy 8 Ed, This is just personal preference but if it is lengthy, I would save it as a pdf and attach it your grandfather instead of copying and pasting it into the General Notes field.
