RE: Re[2]: [LegacyUG] Modify GED File to Remove Shared Events?
To those who have asked for the “shared events” VBA procedure, I can’t send it as an attachment because of the Legacy mailing list guidelines (virus concerns). The Excel procedure is given below. Maybe cutting and pasting will work for you. Some comments: 1. The procedure assumes you have already imported a “For Legacy” GED text file into Col. A – Row 1 of the macro-enabled worksheet (.xlsm), containing the VBA procedure (macro). 2. GED Import Sequence: Data – From Text – Delimited File Type – Tab Delimiter – Text Data Format – Existing Worksheet: $A:$1. 3. After running the procedure, the first row of all inserted records for an event will be highlighted for checking that all went well. 4. The modified GEDCOM can then be copied (all the cells in Col. A) to a text editor and save as a .GED file. 5. I can send you my Excel file that automates all of the above, but that would have to be done directly, outside of the Legacy mailing list. 6. Note: The procedure does not append the Notes (specific to the person’s role) to the event Notes. That could be done, but I think the extra code actions will slow down the procedure. As it is right now, it takes about 23 minutes to modify my family GEDCOM that has about 3500 individuals and 5000 master events.

Legacy is programmed in VB6, which doesn't support non-Western European fonts. Until the programmers get a chance to reprogram Legacy in a programming language that supports non-Western European fonts, you won't be able to use Eastern European fonts.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
Here my notes from many years ago. They were written by me, for me, and not
for general audience. I have done a quick review, and it looks pretty good to
me. Written for Danish, but substitute desired language for keyboards provided.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Danish Research Resources:
Extra letters in Danish alphabet. READ ME FIRST
NOTE: Danish has three extra letters in the alphabet: æ, ø, and å.
“Aftagtsmand” is not the same as “Aftægtsmand”.
“Hans Jorgen” is not the same as “Hans Jørgen”.
“Dab” is not the same as “Dåb”.
Be sure to use the correct character. Some database searches especially in
Danish language, will fail with wrong letter.
You can:
· Activate the Danish Keyboard (for all Microsoft operating systems).
· Use the 10 key pad, while holding down the Alt key and typing a code
(for all Microsoft operating systems).
· Copy and paste the Danish letters Æ, Ø, and Å from another document
that already has them.
Instructions for all three methods (Windows XP and Vista)can be found here:
https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Denmark:_Typing_%C3%86,_%C3%98,_and_%C3%85
I recommend activating the Danish keyboard, easy to toggle back and forth as
needed.
Instructions for changing keyboards on Windows7 are shown below.
When done, use ; ' [ respectively for Æ, Ø, Å
---
Configuring Windows 7 and Vista for Danish keyboard.
1. Click on the Start button.
2. Click on the Control Panel item.
3. Select the Language, and Region option.
4. Select the Regional and Language Option.
5. Click on the Keyboards and Languages Tab.
6. Click on the Change Keyboards button.
7. Click the Add button.
8. Find the Danish country item you wish to use. You can also select Faeroese
or Greenlandic for the Danish keyboard layout.
9. Click on the plus sign (+) to the left of the keyboard.
10. Click on the box to the left of the keyboard layout, Danish. should get a
checkmark
11. Click the OK button to select the keyboard layout and close the Add Input
Language dialog box.
12. Click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of the Text Services
and Input Languages dialog box.
13. Click on the OK button in the lower right corner of the Text Services and
Input Languages dialog box.
Using the Danish Keyboard in Windows
a) After activating the Danish keyboard, you should see a little icon in the
notification area (Near time) near right side of your screen that appears as an
EN.
b) When you click on the EN a pop up list appears with the option of choosing
English or Danish. Choose Danish. Now the EN icon has changed to DA
c) As long as the little icon shows DA, you are using a Danish keyboard. The
Danish keyboard provides the Æ, Ø, and Å as follows:
Æ is the ; (or : ) key
Ø is the ‘ (or “ ) key
Å is the [ (or { ) key
You can type the upper case or lower case of each letter by using holding down
the Shift key as usual. While the Danish keyboard is activated, other keys have
been rearranged as well.
Keyboard language and sticker solutions: http://www.smartkeyboardsolutions.com/
They have Italian, Hebrew, Russian. Do a search for Danish, Polish, and others.
Also Have LARGE PRINT keyboards, and many various styles for English keyboards.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I hope this is useful to someone.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
I have been requesting Eastern European special characters / diacritics for years but Legacy has not even added them to their “special character map”, even in version 8. This is extremely annoying, although I like everything else about Legacy. Legacy do not even indicate they doing anything to address this problem- no estimated time frame- nothing. I want to publish my family history. For years of been keeping a list of incorrectly spelled names of people and places so one day I can save my work as a Word document and do all the “find and replace” actions needed. My list is however growing out of hand. It’s ridiculous and I’m fed up. Even then, that might work if wanted to limit my family to selected bits and pieces for publication in a book, but I could not simply use Legacy to publish everything on a website. It has been a number of years since I have compared genealogy software programs. I think I will revisit this issue and if there is a software program that compares favourably with Legacy while including diacritics, I will change to it. It is gradually becoming easier to trace ancestors in counties like Poland and Eastern Europeans are becoming more interested in genealogy. Countries like the US, UK and Australia have a very multicultural heritage which I feel has been disrespected by Legacy. Unless Legacy caters for various ethnicities or nationalities, it is purely a matter of time before more progressive software is developed by others and takes market share away from Legacy. Why does Legacy not even include Eastern European diacritics in their Special Characters Map and allow people like me to do a “search and replace” within Legacy? I could live with that.

RE: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
I don't know about Danish, but I do know that pasting the correct characters
will not work if Legacy does not recognize them. It does not matter what
keyboard you use. If Legacy does not have them in its list, they will not be
rendered. That is the big problem; there is no work-around for many, many
characters.
The Danish characters you listed are included in Legacy's characters, so they
will be rendered correctly if you paste them, or if you choose them from the
Legacy characters.

Here my notes from many years ago. They were written by me, for me, and not
for general audience. I have done a quick review, and it looks pretty good
to me. Written for Danish, but substitute desired language for keyboards
provided.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Danish Research Resources:
Extra letters in Danish alphabet. READ ME FIRST
NOTE: Danish has three extra letters in the alphabet: æ, ø, and å.
“Aftagtsmand” is not the same as “Aftægtsmand”.
“Hans Jorgen” is not the same as “Hans Jørgen”.
“Dab” is not the same as “Dåb”.
Be sure to use the correct character. Some database searches especially in
Danish language, will fail with wrong letter.
You can:
· Activate the Danish Keyboard (for all Microsoft operating systems).
· Use the 10 key pad, while holding down the Alt key and typing a
code (for all Microsoft operating systems).
· Copy and paste the Danish letters Æ, Ø, and Å from another document
that already has them.
Instructions for all three methods (Windows XP and Vista)can be found here:
https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Denmark:_Typing_%C3%86,_%C3%98,_and_%C3%85
I recommend activating the Danish keyboard, easy to toggle back and forth as
needed.
Instructions for changing keyboards on Windows7 are shown below.
When done, use ; ' [ respectively for Æ, Ø, Å
---
Configuring Windows 7 and Vista for Danish keyboard.
1. Click on the Start button.
2. Click on the Control Panel item.
3. Select the Language, and Region option.
4. Select the Regional and Language Option.
5. Click on the Keyboards and Languages Tab.
6. Click on the Change Keyboards button.
7. Click the Add button.
8. Find the Danish country item you wish to use. You can also select Faeroese
or Greenlandic for the Danish keyboard layout.
9. Click on the plus sign (+) to the left of the keyboard.
10. Click on the box to the left of the keyboard layout, Danish. should get a
checkmark
11. Click the OK button to select the keyboard layout and close the Add Input
Language dialog box.
12. Click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of the Text Services
and Input Languages dialog box.
13. Click on the OK button in the lower right corner of the Text Services and
Input Languages dialog box.
Using the Danish Keyboard in Windows
a) After activating the Danish keyboard, you should see a little icon in the
notification area (Near time) near right side of your screen that appears as
an EN.
b) When you click on the EN a pop up list appears with the option of choosing
English or Danish. Choose Danish. Now the EN icon has changed to DA
c) As long as the little icon shows DA, you are using a Danish keyboard. The
Danish keyboard provides the Æ, Ø, and Å as follows:
Æ is the ; (or : ) key
Ø is the ‘ (or “ ) key
Å is the [ (or { ) key
You can type the upper case or lower case of each letter by using holding
down the Shift key as usual. While the Danish keyboard is activated, other
keys have been rearranged as well.
Keyboard language and sticker solutions:
http://www.smartkeyboardsolutions.com/
They have Italian, Hebrew, Russian. Do a search for Danish, Polish, and
others.
Also Have LARGE PRINT keyboards, and many various styles for English
keyboards.

I hope this is useful to someone.

But at least they could be on the character strip, and, when you could enter them using keystrokes. As it is now, even using the correct keystrokes, Legacy will not enter them.

RE: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
I am still using Legacy 7.5 because of still existing bugs and new bugs introduced when some old one are fixed in Legacy 8. Too many of the reports I need to produce are affected by the bugs, that I cannot rely on Legacy 8. I do not have the time or energy to keep two versions up-to-date which would require double entering everything, I have had to stay with Legacy 7.5. I have downloaded it, and periodically transfer a copy of my latest database into Legacy 8, but, so far, it cannot do what I meed as well as Legacy 7.5 Alas! Anyway, that explanation was so you will know that these instructions are from Legacy 7.5. The Character Map is used to select characters that are not found on the keyboard. The Character Map can be reached two different ways. The first is by pressing F6 while in any input field. Any characters selected from the Character Map are returned and enter at the current cursor position. The second way to reach the Character Map is to click the small blue button on the Special Characters ribbon on every input screen. The map is then used to select up to eight characters to fill the ribbon. The characters on the ribbon are then immediately available for adding to input fields. See Special Characters for more information. How to Select Characters Double-clicking on any characters in the list, copies the character up to the Characters to Return field at the top. When selecting characters to place in an input field, you can choose as many as you want. For example, if you wanted to enter the word posição you might first enter posi in the field, press F6 and then double-click on the letters ção. This would put the remainder of the word in the Characters to Return field. Clicking the Return Characters button would return the characters and finish the word in the input field. If you are filling the Special Characters ribbon, double-click on up to eight characters that you will be using the most. For example, á é í ó ú ñ.

Re: [LegacyUG] Alphabet Character set
I use Danish characters from my std set of fonts. Windows allows you to make changes to different language keyboards. The language bar settings are on the right side of the Task Bar. It takes one keystroke to toggle between English and Danish. My grandfather is Hans Jørgen Hansen, from Rudjkøbing, Denmark. Note the ø in Jørgen and Rudjkøbing, that is from toggling to Danish. Those spellings and characters are OK in Legacy 8. I made personal notes on how to do this, will see if I can locate them and provide here.
