Hello all the users of Legacy
I have been reading some messages. There are many people who have liking the genealogy. They worry about the ancestors: ascending and descending and the generations :)
Yes, there are many interests to use a determined software, but also it is certain that there is more �robust" than others and that their reports can be prettier than those than are better in certain task. I have used several of them, nevertheless, The difference that I have observed, is the capacity to save time to arrive at a certain aim. That is, it is not the amount of windows, or �bottons� and the �robustness ", but the way how they organize the data, simplicity, more not it incapacity to confuse.
Now, what it is a professional software, it is a that it introduces
more names? Or, is it a that has the best reports? In fact, from my point of view, there is no software of genealogy that thinks for you. There is in the market still no a that obtains what a genealogist needs to analyze the data. Yes, is software that helps you to elaborate simple reports, yes, simple reports that are very important to obtain a professional task. The rapidity, the effectiveness to process data is what matters to elaborate the most incredible report. It is the subject! You are the key so that it simply marks to the difference between the good software and other that only can to introduce data (important). Although, in truth, it is necessary that Legacy saves time to us in processing our data; I suggest are taking care of the deficiency in the footers. In this world there is much commercial competition, and for only this detail, there are some that doubts a certain software (although finally the professionals finish completely changing the original reports); thus he is this of the genealogical investigation.
Thanks
Sorry, my bad english

I've also been frustrated by not getting real endnotes in word processing documents. But then I found out it's a bit more complex than I thought. When you export them as real (editable) endnotes, you then get an endnote listed for each and every citation. In other words, endnote # 1 no longer applies to 6 different items. The number of endnotes increases dramatically. In some cases, this may be fine, but it really ruins the ability to print working reports with endnotes of reasonable length. I think I read somewhere that there's a utility that will convert them back to "unique endnotes" (the ones were note #1 applies to 6 items), but I'm not sure if it's free or if it's only designed for specific software (genealogical or word processing). In any case, it makes a significant extra step on every report.
