Re: [LegacyUG] Establishing a Word Processor
Thank you to all who responded to my problem. It's now solved. WordPerfect x5 works reasonably will in handling and .RTF file. However, I need to edit a great deal, but that would most likely be the case with whatever program converts the .RTF. Creating a hardbound book is time-consuming. Thanks.

[LegacyUG] Reports in RTF
Whenever I create a report, e.g. ancestor book report, in the RTF mode, the formatting is messed up big time and requires hours to put the report into the same format as when it's printed or viewed on the screen in the regular Legacy format. Is this the nature of the beast or is something messed up in the program? I'm running version 7.0.89. Thank you for your input.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports in RTF
Ron, Ok, updated Legacy to 7.5.0.112 and ran an RTF of an ancestor book report. The result is the same. Word processor is WordPerfectX4. The problems: 1. The list of children is not indented the same as in the Screen/printer view. RTF version: the first line (with the roman numeral) is indented, but the rest of the lines are not indented and each line must be manually indented to match the screen/printer view. 2. When a new person is listed, e.g. 50. John Jones [RIN] was born... the first two or three words are printed on one line (and indented 4 spaces from the left margin) and the rest of the information (4 or 5 lines) is printed on the next lines. The only way to correct this situation is to cut all the information and then paste it (the first line then fills with the info from the lines below. (using the delete and backspace keys has no affect on the formatting). The first line is still indented 4 spaces from the left margin and I haven't figured out how to correct that. 3. In Noted events in his life were: the second line of information does not line up under the first word of the event. This must be moved using the space bar to the correct location. The font is not affected; at times the font size is reduced from 12 to 8 and it seems to be random. Page breaks are ok. The document is 124 pages in length and it would take hours to re-format it. This is where I am and hopefully your expertise will help me correct the situation. Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports in RTF
Thanks for that suggestion, Jerry. Unfortunately, the results are the same. There seems to be some hard formatting in the RTF file that doesn't make it easy. Jerry On 8/30/2011 10:13 AM, Jerry wrote: Jerry, this might not have any bearing on this problem, but I'll throw it out just in case it does. I also loved WordPerfect and I believe it was a superior product to Microsoft Word - sorry it didn't keep its prominent position. But I would think about trying different formats. I believe that WordPerfect has a formatting option to create a document formatted as an MS Word document. Anyway, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try saving in different formats, opening in different formats and see if you get the same results.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports in RTF
Thank you, Ron. The using the reset button didn't do the trick. However, when I opened the file in Open Office, I was able to more easily make corrections to it. It'll still take some time, but it'll be easier and faster. This is pointing to WordPerfect as the possible culprit. Jerry On 8/30/2011 12:23 PM, Ron Ferguson wrote: Jerry, Thank you for the additional information. As it happens my default word-processor is Open Office, and I am afraid that I have no experience with Word Perfect - I seem to have a niggle at the back of my head that it does not always reproduce as one might expect, but I may well be wrong here. However, I do not think that I am finding the same problems as yourself. 1. All the numerals are indented correctly, although if a line is longer than the page width the second line does start at the margin. 2. I do not have a line break/return after the first two or 3 words, all new lines are at the end of the margin ie. character position #1 3. Not the case. I'm not certain that I actually like the format but that's a different question! I have not looked at variation in font sizes. Before suggesting that it actually is a problem with Word Perfect, would you please use the Reset Button on the bottom-right of the Ancestor Book Screen and then redo your settings, to see if this corrects the problems. If it doesn't then try deleting Ances.usr and then redo your settings (it should be the same result as Reset, but one never knows!)

[LegacyUG] Printing Sources in Books

When I preview the Descendant Register Book Report and the Ancestor Book reports separately, the source citations do not print out (this is what I want); However, when I preview the complete Book, the source citations print even though the print source citations are grayed out in the preferences sections.

Jerry Jerry, Yes but make sure that you have backed up your .fdb file first, particular since it involves a change in file structure, so you cannot go back. You would be able to restore your V5 .fdb back up to a new V5 installation though. Ron Ferguson Thanks, Ron. Is the .fdb file the one that's backed up when I do a regular backup? I'm basically wanting to create a PDF file to send to a relative in Denmark. If version 5 will do that, then there'd be no need to convert to version 7. I want to make this as easy and foolproof as possible without losing data!
