Re: [LegacyUG] Newspapers - Australia, New Zealand
Ian, Why don't you put the text straight into Legacy? From Trove, just copy and then paste into Legacy. Do your corrections on Trove first so that everyone benefits. You can search it in Legacy. How easily depends on where you put it. I put it in Event notes as well as in the Source Detail text. Event Notes are easy to search. You may have other reasons for keeping text files separately. If so, I'd link them to the person or event in Legacy as well so you have another way to access them.

My text files contain transcriptions that are usually for one individual or for others in the family. I find the text files, apart from being very much smaller than image or PDF, are searchable on my computer and thereby help with research. But I need to incorporate them into Legacy, as well. I.L.

Re: [LegacyUG] Newspapers - Australia, New Zealand
Can't you just paste the text into Legacy - as a source this would be the source detail text. That is where I put newspaper transcriptions in support of the data.

Re: [LegacyUG] Newspapers - Australia, New Zealand
If you download an image, usually JPG, you can always crop it to just the part that you need. With suitable tools you should be able to extract the image from a PDF file and do the same. Also makes it easier to convert the smaller image to text with OCR.
