Has anyone experimented to find the "best" sizes for pictures included in
Legacy 6 reports saved as RTF? This affects scanning and linking of pictures
from the beginning of a family project. A report looks untidy if every face
picture is a different size and shape.
I have done a little with embedding which resulted in different size
pictures at different location within the document. Some pictures were
very difficult to move to another location. Dragging and dropping would
not do it.
Having to do that much work, I will NOT embed unless something gets
fixed here but rather place the picture at or near the place holder
myself, size as appropriate.
For a simple example, I might want all individual pictures to print one inch
wide and all group pictures, maps & documents to print six inches wide. Each
picture available for birth, christening, marriage, death and burial will
need a *custom* event to be included in a Legacy report.
To accomplish something like that it would require a lot of programming
options. Some pictures may be better if larger to show some details
that a simpler picture doesn't require. The combinations are endless.
PDF reports with
one size of picture are not suitable for a family project with a lot of
group pictures.
That is why a word processor with PDF generating capabilities is the
best way to satisfy this situation. There are standalone PDF generating
programs, either free or very reasonable.
