Hi Rob,
Thanks to everyone for their quick responses, I have now found Picture Center but still have problems and I most likely stuffed things up by trying to fix it myself in the first place.
Looking at the three main sections of the Picture Center screen:
On the left side is a list of all the individuals in my family file - this seems OK.
Also on left at the bottom: C:\picture\Lowry, Paul Desmond
In the middle is a list for pictures on the computer - NONE.
On the right is a preview window for showing the highlighted picture - NONE
Would I have messed up the path name and if, how should I re enter it?
Thanks, Paul

Picture Center is actually on the Tools Menu, not the View Menu. You probably need Legacy Deluxe to access it, though it sounds like you have this if you purchased the disk.
You can also add pictures directly from individuals. Let me know if you want to know how.
Welcome to the list.
Cheers,
Rob

I have been asking for help from Support, only because every time I sent an
e-mail to the users group it came back so must have been using the wrong
address - hopefully I have the right address this time.
I purchased the Legacy 5.0 disc and installed it a few months ago and
recently decided to add pictures but found I cannot get pictures into Legacy
5.0. I'm not sure if I have the correct link. The manual and tips refer to
PICTURE CENTER (which says is a very easy way to link many pictures to many
individuals) and to reach the picture centre choose - picture centre from
the view menu. When I go to view I cannot find picture centre only picture
locations through master lists.
Can someone tell me if I should have picture centre? How do I go about
fixing my problem? What format the link should be in and where it should be?
Regards, Paul
