Rick, Scrapbook added to a Legacy 6 book using the new build 73 still shows "No pictures were found for the options selected." How are scrapbooks added to Legacy 6 books if I've missed the instructions?
The border line for pictures still comes back every time a Legacy 6 file is closed. Most of my pictures look better without a black border, even the rectangles. Sometimes a report prints a picture with offset border -- white on the left and black line through part of the picture on the right like a tombstone picture in a sample report from one of the list participants. I've not yet found an automatic way to print Legacy reports (or books) from a single PDF file with a mix of small individual pictures and six inch wide group pictures or sources. Hope that someone will post to the list if the picture features have changed in the new build which is the 7th public download of Legacy 6 released September 8, 2005. Particularly interested in the options for printing readable size birth, christening, marriage, death and burial images without creating custom events or the restriction of one size pictures in a report. There were unadvertised changes to picture features in June 2005 Legacy 5 that I'd missed. Consider the cost of Legacy 6 Deluxe, $40 Legacy TreeDraw and full-featured word processor typically used for a Legacy family book project. In 2005, the best available new computers had only a trial version of Microsoft Office. Many researchers depend on PDF files and direct printouts rather than editing every report in a word processor with the risk of unplanned changes. FTM 2006 Basic version has built-in wall charts, a free copy of Charting Companion, inserted pictures in scrapbooks, allows right-size pictures in text items in FTM books. FTM does not have a descendant report with notes similar to the Legacy Narrative and my 1970 typed notes. Picture files do not transfer between FTM and Legacy. I'm not able to use master locations in any genealogy program due to place holder commas for areas without counties. Apparently Tree Draw and any chart printed with a Legacy GEDCOM has the long locations with place holder commas. My relatives in rural areas do not have fast Internet service available to download Legacy program files and some computers do not have Internet service to get the online updates. A fair comparison is made with actual projects in the CURRENT versions of two or more genealogy programs, not November 2005 Legacy 6 vs. four year old version of any other program. -- Elizabeth, registered Legacy 3-4-5-6 customer since March 2000 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick > Just curious, but has anyone noticed just how similar Family Tree Maker > is in its look and how it functions to Legacy?
