I was sure I had produced a location list from Legacy when we visited the UK in 2005, and I wanted a list of places where family members had lived, sorted, so that I would have a list of towns. Perhaps earlier versions of Legacy could do that, or perhaps I used another program. What I tried to do this time, and failed, was to produce a list for an English country -- say Cornwall. Yes, it would be possible to produce a list by searching five times and adding to a list -- first birth, then baptism, then death, then burial, then marriage. I'm not sure if the search screen lets you search for marriage, though. So it would be marvellous if ii let you search for, and tag, any place for any event, with one search, and then print a list with just those. And then print the list in the order of largest place to the smallest The list I did manage to print was useless, because it sorted in the order of the number of blank spaces with commas, and it printed everything, with no selection. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: [email protected] -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected] To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
