Re: [LegacyUG] Best way to rename pdf files used within Legacy?
Thank you everyone for this discussion. I understand things better now. I will now tend to only use JPEG files unless absolutely necessary.

There is new puzzle about the gaps in the version numbers. The programmers may
well make several new versions before release, especially if a number of issues

I agree Geoff. Curious about the jump from 387 to 412 – maybe 412 is a Beta,
it seems quite “buggy”. Is there a way to get back to build 387?

Re: [LegacyUG] Name List - Build 412
It has nothing whatever to do with number of fixes. The version numbers are applied automatically when the programmers generate a new copy. Some are only used by the programmers, others are sent to our Beta test group and finally the general users get a version. The jump in numbers only show how many times the program was generated since the previous release.

RE: [LegacyUG] Name List - Build 412
You probably saw Sherry’s reply regarding the build number – which we knew anyway. I had kept earlier versions of Legacy and still have v7.5 installed – of course that’s a big issue to use the current data file after it was converted to run on v8. Thanks for the offer of 397 – I’ll bear with the current one for now and see how they make out with that. Maybe I’m asking too much – I expect the new releases to be an Upgrade, not a Downgrade.

Mike is correct. Consider the fact that a Microsoft Word Document can also contain JPEG images, trying to add a .DOC or .DOCX file to the Picture Center is the same as trying to add a .PDF. They are NOT images but rather containers that may or may not have images inside of them. The Picture Center is working just fine in this regard.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8.0 For MACs
Priscilla, The short answer is that there is no such thing as legacy for Mac. It is a Windows program. In order to use Legacy on a Mac you must also install windows on the Mac. There are several ways to do this and others on the group know more about that and will likely be able to provide more detail than I can.

[LegacyUG] Fixed Fonts, Destroyed Columns?
Mike, Thanks for: Consolas is a nice, clean, mono-spaced font. I think Courier is also a fixed font. It would be nice if Legacy identified all the fixed fonts. And I would prefer Legacy using only fixed fontsG. When I copy and paste census info from Ancestry.com, Legacy includes a lot of hidden format info. That makes a mess after the data is pasted in and saved and then re-opened. It would be nice if Legacy worked like Notepad and removed all or most of the formatting when pasting the info into Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy Update Procedure

RE: Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Name List - Build 412
Cathy, If you go to the Legacy Home page, you will see “Updates” there – the header (“Updates” ) is a link, click on it and it will check for the update. It does not always automatically show you that there is an update available – even in version 7.5 Build 412 works but there seems to be a lot of familiar things that are now missing, as you’ve seen from the postings. Hopefully they will bring these back. I believe 412 has more updates for Family Search users – if you use that, then the update is probably worthwhile. My last message was meant to be private – though I do get frustrated as it showed.

RE: [LegacyUG] Best way to rename pdf files used within Legacy?
From: da...@schmeckabernathy.com There is no Microsoft image format thst I am aware of. Can you name any that are? The issue here seems to be that embedded images are regularly transported via a PDF file. I have certainly been supplied with many scanned images and documents that were created as PDF files. Depending on context, I sometimes convert them to a JPG copy for ease of display, but such duplication into another format is somewhat untidy from a database point of view.

RE: [LegacyUG] Re: Back-up unsuccessful
Hi Ruth, I had not used the feature to burn directly to disc, so I tried it out to see if it does work. I am using Windows 8.1 Pro, and I don’t exactly get a pop-up balloon to say burn, but I can burn a disc. Your version of Windows may do things a little differently. Legacy makes a backup to a temporary folder, then Windows takes over for the burn to disc, so it shouldn’t have anything to do with the Legacy build. You can backup your data to your hard drive/SD card/USB drive then burn a disc using other software, or use the SD card/USB drive to copy/transfer the data to another computer. There are other ways like networking and cloud storage to do this as well. I prefer the SD card (or USB drive) as they are cheap and reusable.I keep one locked away, and regularly send one to a relative for even more security. It is also quicker to copy/transfer using the SD card. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8.0 For MACs
Legacy (any version) requires Windows, so it will not run directly on your Mac. I would recommend you buy VMWare Fusion 6 and install on your Mac and then install Windows 7 under VMWare. Then you have Windows 7 running on your Mac and you can switch back and forth from Mac to windows as you need too. Another option is to run buy install Parallels Desktop 9 and then install install Windows. Both systems are good. I find the VMWare is more Windows network friendly than Parallels. Don't buy the older versions of these - you need to stay current. I don't know how much RAM you got on your Mac, but running VMWare and Windows along with the Mac OS takes more than 4GB of Ram. Otherwise, you will be inS L O W W W gear trying to run the Mac OS and windows.

Re: [LegacyUG] Fixed Fonts, Destroyed Columns?
Jay, I think I do the same thing you do with the census summaries, but I get them mostly from FamilySearch. You're right that if you copy and paste from Ancestry, you are obliged to close the Notes window, and open it again, so that the Legacy default font formatting comes into use. In FamilySearch census summary windows, there is a Copy button, which if you use, and then paste into the Notes window in Legacy, you get close to what you probably want, and the font size comes out okay, I suppose because I've set my minimum screen font size to 10, and also to10 in the Legacy Notes window. I had some trouble with my Notes formatting being lost until I figured out that the Notes Zoom button was allowing me to set a Text Font Size. It appears to always remember it, and I don't lose the formatting now. Even if I change the Notepad window size, it does not affect the formatting -- it will re-word-wrap the lines if necessary. I don't suppose that this wouldn't change if used in other ways, such as in this email message. If you copy your Notes into WordPad (which I do from time to time, while I am making use of the information), with it set to Arial and font size 10, the formatting will be the same as it is in your Legacy notes. Here is an example copied from one of my Legacy Notes windows (I add little notes of my own): *1870 Census -- Turner, Androscoggin, Maine, United States* Household GenderAge Birthplace Lark D Merrill M47 Maine A Melvina Merrill F 42 Maine = Amanda Melvina Lothrop Willard LothropM40 Maine = Amanda's brother, an invalid NOTE: Next door is family of George T. Merril Lorette Georgianna A., and next to them is the family of Alvah and Hannah C. Merrill with child Nathan -- also including what looks like maybe the Merrill father, Luther Merrill, age 82. Citing this Record: United States Census, 1870, index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M6DZ-RQT : accessed 25 Feb 2014), Lark D Merrill, Maine, United States; citing p. , family 259, NARA microfilm publication M593, FHL microfilm 000552036. I don't know how this will look in your email program, but it looks fairly good before sending it. :-) Joseph Leavitt On 3/4/2014 1:25 PM, J.M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Children not showing up in Family group report index
I did a family group sheet report using focus group criteria for descendants of my own family. My children are in the index but none of my grandchildren. Each of the correct group sheets are correctly in the Preview report. The index options are obviously set right. I may test a little further but it would seem that the last generation is not being sent to the index.

Re: [LegacyUG] Children not showing up in Family group report index
Just the family of Asa Clark Brown shows two problems with the Name Index instead of all of his descendants with a Focus Group. The report produces 6 pages. Check the name index under surname Brown...only Asa Clark and Nathan are listed. Notice also under Crosby...Clara Etta is listed twice with RINs 91 and 92. (David Clark Brown, her spouse, is RIN 92) Same for Frost...Elmina is listed twice with RINs 69 and 74. (William C. Brown, her spouse, is RIN 74) Same for Goodhue...Jane is listed twice with RINs 72 and 76. (Joshua Marsden Brown, her spouse, is RIN 76) Same for Rand...Laura Etta is listed twice with RINs 71 and 73. (John W. Brown, her spouse, is RIN 73) There may be other errors, but these are quite easy to replicate.

RE: [LegacyUG] Fixed Fonts, Destroyed Columns?
Hi Jay, I’ve switched to HTML for emphasis. The included hidden formatting (or possibly HTML code) is not necessarily a fault of Legacy. When you copy the information from a web site (Ancestry.com) it has to deal with what you are pasting to the notes - thus, where you are copying it from. What browser are you using? I use three different browsers, Internet Explorer, Opera, and FireFox depending on what it is I am copying, and to where. I primarily use FireFox to copy from Ancestry to Legacy as it does not include the HTML coding that Internet Explorer does. Here is a sample output from Internet Explorer after copying/pasting/saving/reopening to Legacy Notes: 1861 England Census http://www.ancestry.ca/search/db.aspx?dbid=8767enc=1 about Alfred Cox ntblName:Alfred Coxntbl Age:16ntbl Estimated birth year:1845ntbl Relation:Sonntbl Father's Name:William Coxntbl Mother's name:Mary A Coxntbl Gender:Malentbl Where born:St Lawrence, Thanet, Kent, Englandntblntbl Civil Parish:Ashntbl Ecclesiastical parish:Canterbury and Sandwichntbl County/Island:Kentntbl Country:England After stripping the HTML codes before saving in Legacy. 1861 England Census about Alfred Cox Name:Alfred Cox Age:16 Estimated birth year:1845 Relation:Son Father's Name:William Cox Mother's name:Mary A Cox Gender:Male Where born:St Lawrence, Thanet, Kent, England Civil Parish:Ash Ecclesiastical parish:Canterbury and Sandwich County/Island:Kent Country:England This is from FireFox, no changes: 1861 England Census about Alfred Cox Name:Alfred Cox Age:16 Estimated birth year: 1845 Relation:Son Father's Name:William Cox Mother's name:Mary A Cox Gender: Male Where born: St Lawrence, Thanet, Kent, England Civil Parish: Ash Ecclesiastical parish: Canterbury and Sandwich County/Island: Kent Country: England No touchups to either - the Internet Explorer info looks even worse in Legacy Notes and the Firefox notes look much better - in your designated Legacy font. Copying to Word may be another matter, as the Internet Explorer info contains all the formatting codes to show the information in all its glory including color and fonts - and, in this case, it is also in a table. An additional bonus in FireFox vs Explorer, is selecting the data as FireFox displays the data in a table format allowing you to copy the information very differently. In FireFox, open a census page/view others on page - if you click in the first 'cell' and drag the mouse down the page you will highlight everything to be copied - just as in Internet Explorer. This time start in the second box, hold down the Ctrl key and click/drag the mouse - the results are very different - you can select the rows and columns of interest. Release the mouse button, hold down the control key and click on any of the cells - you can select/deselect any/multiple cell(s) with a simple click. For example, this Families info from Firefox just by using the mouse and dragging across the info to be copied: View Record William Cox Mary A 1817 Meckabourne, Kent, England Head Ash, Kent View Record Mary A Cox William 1825 Wickham, Kent, England WifeAsh, Kent View Record Alfred Cox William, Mary A 1845 St Lawrence, Thanet, Kent, England Son Ash, Kent View Record Ann M CoxWilliam, Mary A 1852 Ash, Kent, England Daughter Ash, Kent View Record Mary J CoxWilliam, Mary A 1858 Ash, Kent, England Daughter Ash, Kent View Record Harriet Cox William, Mary A 1859 Ash, Kent, England Daughter Ash, Kent Using the Ctrl key and a quick editing by deselecting cells (parents) before copy/pasting. This can be ‘prettied up’ through added tabs, or spacing.
