Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - which would be appropriate?

[Cathy Pinner]

Ian,
I think you have to play with the reports and charts and also think 
about what the group is interested in and how much they are interested.
I work with Descendant Charts from the relevant grandparents and then 
ancestors with grandparents in the second generation. To do this I have 
a fake person with a family photo as  "sibling" of my parent and run 
Ancestor charts/books from that person but make them Invisible for 
Descendant Chart/books.
However next time I'd include a chart from the best known set of great 
grandparents showing just the lines to the second/third cousins known to 
the family. To do this I'd do what I do to show relationship between DNA 
matches. Use the Relationship Calculator Options to tag relationship 
lines, then export the tag group to a new temporary file and chart from 
there.

I would appreciate advice about some Legacy reports (and perhaps 
charts – not sure).


I don’t use the reports much, and lately only those with (Legacy 
Family Tree names) *Ancestor Book (#1) *and *Descendant Book (#2)*.


For a get-together of relatives on my father’s side, I want to 
generate a small number of printed or PDF reports, though I can see 
that those (#1, #2) when more than about 4 generations they can be 
many pages.


Is there one that is suitable, that includes  ancestors of my father 
and also includes his father _and all of his father’s siblings_, and 
then those ancestors from his grandfather back several more generations?


(I think that reflects the interests of the group that will be meeting 
in a few weeks).


Or would it be more appropriate to display those siblings (ie, those 
at the level of my grandfather) in a separate report or as a cart?

Cathy, thanks. That worked OK.

*[lifespan]* is the available term - if using _Abt_ in the Born or 
Died, it will appear, so I get *Descendants of Alexander McCully Snr 
(Abt 1795-1868)* for those actual b. and d. which in my database are 
as *Abt 1795*   and *26 May 1868*


The extra parameter needs to be set for  “cover page” and for the 
“page headers”

Ian,

Click the Help button on the screen where you can edit the Header. It 
will have a section or I think it's a link to the Report Title codes 
that can be used.

The Help really is helpful.

I would like to add a very simple enhancement to my Descendant Book 
Report - at the very top pages


The Heading Layout has a section "Title at the top of Page 1"  where 
the template is   Descendants of [*FullName*]


So, it generates *Descendants of David Thomas* - when within a 
_Descendant view_ in Legacy interface, I have set a descendants of N 
generations for that individual.


It would be nice to be able to enhance this to include the parameters  
[*Birth Date*]  and  [*Death Date*] after the selected top-level 
person's name.


Can I do that?

It would be nice to display *Descendants of David Thomas (Abt 1810 - 4 
Jun 1887)*


.. and to have it nicely centred and placed on the pages, by 
configuring the _Heading Layout_ within the designer.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Descendant Book Reports - configuration is a bit 
convoluted, but excellent display


I have been creating some Descendant Book Reports and it appears to 
have some peculiarities, which I thought were minor problems.


Specifically, I created a report with 5 generations, and with its Name 
Index, 2-column, it was 23 pages in length.


It has a Table of Contents, and that has the very helpful First 
Generation, Second Generation,   ..., Fifth Generation, and  Name 
Index  page numbers.


(these were on pages 1,3,9,16,20, and 22)

For some reason, I was not getting a page number on any of the 23 
pages. The Page Setup |  Headings and Page Numbers tab  seems to be 
the place to set this to give a centred page number at the bottom.


Getting to the report settings for this is in itself a little 
confusing: the Report Options tab at the base of the 
configuration/settings needs to be selected, but it is the right 
margin area of that - the non-coloured, narrow section with a box   [ 
Page Headers, Footers... ]  which must be clicked.


(a bit hard to describe - needs some step-by-step pictures of the 
report settings)


Then, the Page Number Position section of that page requires attention 
to select Bottom Centre.


However, it is a very comprehensive method for displaying the Legacy 
data in a way

Barbara,
You can colour some parts of chart reports. On the main Report screen 
look for the Colour text and boxes button.

Have you tried doing a descendants chart, starting with
the couple?

Select the couple with the 21 children and click on
*Reports* and select *Descendant Book*

Click on *Options* and check at the bottom if the name
of that couple is there

Under Options, select which Option you want (there are
three and you will have to go through all three).

The next page you get will have the heading "Descendant
Book Options".  You will have a choice of 7 tabs:
*Options*, *Page Layout*, *Heading Layout*, *Wording 1
*and *Wording 2*.  You will need to go through all of
them in turn:

Under *Options* and check the features that you want to
appear.

Under *Page Layout*, select what you want.

Under *Heading Layout,* ensure that the couple's name
appears in the first box and "Descendants of so and so"
appears in the second box.  I have checked "Both" under
Generation Subtitles Labels.

  I left "Wording 1" and "Wording 2" as is.

Under *Index Options*, I have the following checked: 
Name List; Include a name, Birth and Death years on

name; Include alternate names (aliases and nicknames as,
in my case, most of my relatives and friends are more
familiar with my nickname),:Style 1 with bold box
checked; Upper case Surnames and One Column are both
checked.  I didn't select anything in Location Index.

Under *Report Options*, you have five options:
*Include*, *Format*, *Notes/Stories*, *Sources* and
*Pictures*.  Again, you will need to go through each one
in turn and select whatever you want.  The only one
where I have made changes is under Format where I have
"Don't repeat duplicate lines" and "Highlight
direct-line children" checked.

As for the *Title Page*, enter "Descendants of" in the
first box and "the couples' names" in the second box and
click on *Save.*
*
*
Once you have clicked on Save, you will be brought back
to the "Descendant Book Report Options" where you will
be able to preview your report.

You can select different formats if you wish to
give/email the report.  These are "*Text File*, *HTML
File*, *Rich Text File* or *PDF File*".  My personal
preference is PDF File.

I hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports

[Michael Christiaens]

When I was researching my early Powell family history, I found a Powell
family that I thought was my ancestral family [later found to be
otherwise]. When I did, I found a Richard Powell from New Jersey. He was
married to Charity Chew. She had 21 children, so such do happen,
although they are rare..

Her gravestone read: Some have children, some have none, here lies the
mother of 21.
[URL
http://magrannclan.com/Family%20History%20notes%20of%20Jones%20ancestors.htm
]

Charity Chew was the daughter of Richard and Patience (Tatem)Chew Jr. In
1710 Richard Chew Jr was deeded a plantation in Deptford township on the
south branch of the Gloucester River at Upton of 100 acres. In 1722 he
bought 90 more acres in Lower Landing. As late as 1722 Richard Chew Sr.,
Charity's grandfather, was living with her and her parents on their section
of the "Whitall Plantation". Charity's family had considerable money in
those early times. She married Richard Powell who lived on the other side
of the Gloucester River. They had 20 children who they raised on their
farm. Charity died sometime after 1779. She is buried in the Chew-Powell
Cemetery. Charity's tombstone was last seen about 1900. It is said to have
had the epitaph "Some have children, some have none. Here lies the mother
of 21."

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports

[Roberta Schwalm]

I have known a couple of families who had that many children.  Both had
twins (some of them 2 or 3 sets) so it is entirely plausible that they did
have that many kids.  And don't forget:  no TV, no contraception back
then!  

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports

[Sherry H]

Are you *sure* they had 21 children? I've worked on families that I thought
were really large, only to find out that some kids were called by either
their first or middle name, even in census records, and found out there
weren't as many kids as I originally thought! And some were crazy like
Peter Leonard and Leonard Peter - one and the same? Or two kids?

Sounds like the TV show "19 Kids and Counting"!!!

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports

[Roberta Schwalm]

Have you tried doing a descendants chart, starting with the couple?

Select the couple with the 21 children and click on *Reports* and
select *Descendant
Book*

Click on *Options* and check at the bottom if the name of that couple is
there

Under Options, select which Option you want (there are three and you will
have to go through all three).

The next page you get will have the heading "Descendant Book Options".  You
will have a choice of 7 tabs:  *Options*, *Page Layout*, *Heading
Layout*, *Wording
1 *and *Wording 2*.  You will need to go through all of them in turn:

Under *Options* and check the features that you want to appear.

Under *Page Layout*, select what you want.

Under *Heading Layout,* ensure that the couple's name appears in the first
box and "Descendants of so and so" appears in the second box.  I have
checked "Both" under Generation Subtitles Labels.

 I left "Wording 1" and "Wording 2" as is.

Under *Index Options*, I have the following checked:  Name List; Include a
name, Birth and Death years on name; Include alternate names (aliases and
nicknames as, in my case, most of my relatives and friends are more
familiar with my nickname),:Style 1 with bold box checked; Upper case
Surnames and One Column are both checked.  I didn't select anything in
Location Index.

Under *Report Options*, you have five options:  *Include*, *Format*,
*Notes/Stories*, *Sources* and *Pictures*.  Again, you will need to go
through each one in turn and select whatever you want.  The only one where
I have made changes is under Format where I have "Don't repeat duplicate
lines" and "Highlight direct-line children" checked.

As for the *Title Page*, enter "Descendants of" in the first box and "the
couples' names" in the second box and click on *Save.*

Once you have clicked on Save, you will be brought back to the "Descendant
Book Report Options" where you will be able to preview your report.

You can select different formats if you wish to give/email the report.
These are "*Text File*, *HTML File*, *Rich Text File* or *PDF File*".  My
personal preference is PDF File.

I hope this helps.

Not directly but this might work:
Select the couple who had the 21 children
Tools > Set Relationships to one of them
Reports > other reports > Relationship report > Select all individuals 
with relationships.

Select CSV as the report destination.
Make sure you know where the report will be created and use a name you 
will remember

Open the .csv file in a spreadsheet program
Sort on the relationship column
Count the number of grandsons and granddaughters.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports

[Brian Kelly]

There are only two reports that can be prepared for all people in a 
database.


The Individual Chart Report can include all individuals.

The Family Group report can be set to include all families (marriages).

You might be able to use the multiple lines of Descent (MLD) report by 
including all MRINs which are top of lines.


Search > Find > Miscellaneous tab has a search for individuals with no 
parents that will assist you in identifying the tops of lines.


The problem with the MLD report however is that individuals without a 
spouse or children cannot be included since they have no MRIN.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports for General Notes

[Cathy Pinner]

Debbie,

PDFs should be included in the Media File List provided you have checked 
to include the items they are linked to. For example, if they're linked 
to Source Detail, then make sure Source citation detail is checked.
They are listed after the Image files are listed under a Header Document 
Filenames.


Note PDFs will not be included if you choose to Print a Scrapbook. Only 
Picture files are included in that.

Cathy, I was able to get the general notes done with your direction, 
but I'm having problems with the media files. Some of my files are 
jpeg and others are pdf. It doesn't look like the pdf files are 
showing up on the print preview. Under the picture scrapbook options, 
I have checked off include picture files and document files. 
Hopefully, I will be able to figure it out.


Thank you for your help.

To see all General Notes.
Do a Detailed Search (Search > Find > Detailed Search tab
for
Individual    Notes-General    Not equal to    [enter nothing]
That will create a Search List of everyone who has General Notes.
In the Search list click the Options button then Print if you are 
using Legacy 9. In earlier versions you'll see a Print button.
Customise the Print so that it includes General Notes and any other 
data you want. (This time in the list of field you can include you'll 
find "General Notes")


To see all Media captions and descriptions.
Go to Reports > Other Reports > Scrapbook.
Choose what media you want and then click the Print Media File List 
button and you will see there are more options re what to print, 
including the caption and description.
To change the caption and descriptions you'll need to go to each Media 
Gallery or use the Picture Centre. If an image has been attached more 
than once, I don't think editing the caption etc there will change it 
everywhere it is already attached. However if you are adding caption 
etc in the Picture Centre BEFORE attaching the image to anything, then 
the same caption etc will be included when you attach using the 
Picture Centre.
You can carry the caption etc from one Media Gallery and add to 
another Gallery by right clicking on the relevant media item and 
choosing Copy. This uses the Legacy Media Clipboard and you can go to 
another Gallery, right click an empty space and choose Paste to paste 
media item together with its caption etc.


Don't forget to click and read the Help on each screen when you need 
to know more about that part of the program.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports for General Notes

[Chris Hill]

Hi Debbie

You need to be aware about the differences between .JPG and .PDF files,
since they are designed for different tasks.

A JPG file is simply a scan of an image, from a camera or a scan. As such
it is easy to include it within a report since all that is needed is to
convert it to a printable form and position it on a page.

A PDF file is much more complex having been designed as a method to convert
a printable form into a document, from which it can be printed on any
printer. As such it will include both text and images, spread over multiple
pages. That throws multiple problems in imbedding it into a report - how
can you place a multi-page report within the middle of a report.

Most cases you would use a JPG for images, as a scan or photo. A PDF would
be used for an existing report, which you would then merge into a new
report, either by merging it into a newly generated PDF report or by
printing it and combining it with a print from a new report.

Regards

Chris

If you download and install the free graphics program Irfanview along 
with its plugins you can use it to create graphic files (JPG and others) 
from your PDFs.  Likewise it can also be used to create PDFs from 
graphic files, but there are many more programs that do that.

Irfanview is an excellent program for editing graphic files.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports question

[Chris Hill]

Hi

Yes, this does seem to be settings on the Descendent Book Report. 
Looking at the report options, there is a flag for Children of Each 
Spouse which is disabled, so it must be an option in one of the reports 
- the Descendent Narrative Report does have the ability to include the 
spouses' children, but it does not seem to work either.


I would suggest that you raise this as an issue with the developers 
- Help / Support Ticket - and hopefully it will be resolved at some 
point in the future.

Chris

I have a question concerning FGS and descendants reports.

I have  a situation (A) where the father had a child from a previous

had a child from a previous marriage.


In neither situation, basing these reports on the FATHER, does the 
child from the previous marriage show on the reports. The previous 
spouse is noted, but not the children.


How, or can, step-children be shown on these reports based on the 
FATHER. It looks like the only way is to base the reports on the 
MOTHER. Seems there ought to be a way of showing step-children on based 
on either the father or mother! Am I missing, or overlooking, a setting 
for these report formats?

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports/Publishing Center

[Leon Chapman]

Gene:
Normally, I would think you would only want to print one set of sources at
the end of all chapters rather than after each chapter.
In the Publishing Center form where you have selected the 3 chapters to
include, there is a Tab at top of window called "Additional".  Click on
that Tab and then near the bottom, click "Source Options".

I always use:
1.  Print source Citations,  then under that select
*  As endnotes at the end of All Chapters.

My guess is you had the option to print endnotes after each chapter.

I have printed 5 major books (500 pages or more) and I think you always
want the sources printed at the end of the book after all your chapters.

You will also want to include Indexes for the names and locations at the
end of of the book.  I use 2 columns for these with "Use Leaders" selected
and start indexes at Odd Page numbers.  The Odd Page number starts the
indexes on the right side of the book when you physically have your book
open.

Good luck.

[LegacyUG] Reports/Publishing Center

[Gene Wheeler]

In using the Publishing Center, I am trying to create a report that
contains three chapters in the following order: Origins Report, Pedigree
Chart, and Ancestor Book Report.

When doing so, it appears there is no way to prevent printing sources in
the Pedigree Chart chapter. The full list of sources is already presented
in the Ancestor Book Report, and many of the same ones are also printed in
the Pedigree Chart. This seems redundant, and wastes space and paper. Is
there not a way to prevent sources from being included in the Pedigree
Report chapter?

Thanks,

Gene Wheeler

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports

[Brian Kelly]

There is an option on the Check Repair screen about checking and 
reporting of same-sex marriages. If you turn that off you will not get 
reports for same-sex marriages. I leave it ON so I can see if there are 
any same sex marriages which should not be in my file.

[LegacyUG] Reports for Couples who **Had No Children**

[Florence B]

Has the issue from the post regarding no issue (children) in the Descendant
Narrative/Report been dealt with yet? If so how is it done?

I want to be able to make reports to also include couples who **Had No
Children ** and to indicate such condition.

Florence,

Provided you have ticked the box for This couple had no children on the
Marriage Information screen, then when the marriage is reported in Book
Reports, it goes on to say: They had no children.

Re: [LegacyUG] reports converting from pdf to word processor

[Ana]

Google Docs (free) can do all kinds of conversions - to and from - PDF
files.

MS Word 7 - has a great Insert picture menu command.

I like to format a picture in a picture program before I insert it in word,
Resize, crop, clarify c.

 Just make sure you have the needed options checked in the Word Options
menu.

I use legacy to create a rtf file  then open it in Word - and then add
pictures or documents in Word. When it is to my liking - I change finished
document to PDF.

Again check out Google Docs if you don't have a picture program.  Did I
mention that Docs is free[?]

Cathy, thanks for your suggestions.
Yes, I tried several things and finally used MS Word after creating the rtf in 
Legacy.  It was an all day project that should have been simple, but at least I 
have it so I can use it at a family reunion.    I'm sure there must be a 
simpler way than what I did.  I used very little from the rtf, but it was 
something to go by.

If you want an improvement you should register your request by
submitting a suggestion using either the link on the Legacy Home tab in
the program or by using the Make a suggestion link in the Help Center
menu on our web site: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com. The more detail
you provide on how you want the report to format the d'Aboville numbers
the better. In fact you seem to want two changes:

1. A different format for the d'Aboville numbering on a Descendant Chart
2. Add d'Aboville numbers to the Descendant Book and/or Descendant
Narrative Book reports.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

[Kathy Thompson]

I'm not sure I made myself quite clear - but if the only way to rearrange
the format of the data output is the sentence construction, I won't worry
about it too much.
I'd just like to be able to print a basic, almost summary report, that
presents just the bare facts, with no sentence envelope at all, but have
the 4 areas of data for each fact in a specific order.

No dramas *grin*

 I have done something similar to what you are asking for using the
 Sentence Style formatting.
 It doesn't put things in columns, but I have fiddled with the sentence
 definitions to add spaces to approximate a column for the event name and
 have the date lined up with the location and description following in the
 same column..

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

Based on Sherry's response and my experience, there is no way to change the
order of the columns.

RE: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

[Mary Fowler Leek]

Kathy,



You can get something like what you want by altering ONE event sentence for the 
event.



The example I used was the Immigration Event and the entered information will 
read in the order you requested …



Event Name - Date - Location - Description





I altered  one sentence definition for “if only date and place entered”

…by removing the default fields and entering



[EventName] - [Date] - [Place] - [Notes] [Sources]



When the information is entered in the sequence you requested,  it would read 
in your report as:



Immigration - 1 Jan 1932 - New York - by ship



The key here is to NOT fill in the Description field in the Event but to move 
the Description to the notes.



If you thought it might be difficult to remember just how you set it up, you 
could even save this event to a new name such as Immigration Summary, leaving 
the default Immigration event intact in case you ever wanted to use it with 
full features. If you saved it to a new name, just turn off the Description 
Box, which would force you to remember to put your description in the notes.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

[Kathy Thompson]

Good idea there Mary, the only problem with that for me is that I have (or will 
have) notes for almost every event, and I have my sentence definitions set up 
in specific ways to capture all 5 fields.
There are times though - like when I'm doing specific research at a library - 
that I need a summary type report that has all of my info in the very basic 
format.
Given that Event Name and Date are both standard widths, but description and 
place can vary greatly, and the list view with all the lines doesn't stay 
uniform in the spacings, I'd puke to be able to mice date to the left.
If the column spacing of that list view remained constant and did a word wrap 
for longer lines rather than pushing the next column further away I'd have no 
problems because the dates would all line up with each other.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

[Paula Ryburn]

I was fiddling with events in FGS and was dismayed to find that the events are 
always separated by horizontal lines.  Well, I should say I was surprised to 
see that the horizontal lines are still there even if you select to use bullets 
or numbering... seems redundant.  I was looking for a way to use less paper.

 stay uniform in the spacings, I'd puke to be able to mice date to the left.
 If the column spacing of that list view remained constant and did a word
 wrap for longer lines rather than pushing the next column further away I'd
 have no problems because the dates would all line up with each other.

[LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

[Kathy Thompson]

Is there any way of re-organising the order in which the List Style
formatting of the Events displays in the reports?

At the moment it displays in columns
Event Name - Description - Date - Location

I'd like to be able to move Description after Location so that I have
Event Name - Date - Location - Description

Is this possible? If so, where am I missing the (probably obvious) settings
for this to happen?

Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

[Sherry/Support]

There's no way to change the order which the information for an event
shows in the report.

In a report, events are listed in the order they show on the
individual's Events/Facts list on the Individual Information window.
You can change sort by date or name under the Options button next to
that list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports - Event Formatting

[Bruce Jones]

If you use the List Style formatting, you can't change the order, per
Sherry.
I have done something similar to what you are asking for using the Sentence
Style formatting.
It doesn't put things in columns, but I have fiddled with the sentence
definitions to add spaces to approximate a column for the event name and
have the date lined up with the location and description following in the
same column..

Re: [LegacyUG] reports

[Pat Hickin]

Well, you may have to go in manually and (after sorting events by date) on
the Individual window, highlight the event that you want moved, and then on
the lower right, in the Set Order box, click either the up or down arrow
to move the event to the position you want it.

 I suppose one solution is to add no date in the date space.

[LegacyUG] Reports that don't follow my instructions!

[Pat Hickin]

Why is it that (in an ancestor report) I get an entry like this:
Property: Real estate: $2500, 1870, oodson Twp., WASHINGTON, VA

when, if I edit the event, the sentence that appears under the Notes box
reads, as I want it to, like this:
.Property: 1870, Goodson Twp., WASHINGTON, VA. Real estate: $2500.
Incidentally, I have a check mark in the little square to the left of
Refresh Sentence.


Specifically,
a) why is Legacy dropping the G from Goodson?
b) why is Legacy putting the date  location in the last position when I
have stipulated that they appear first (just after the Event name)?

In the sentence definition window, I have specified that the sentence read
thusly:
Property: [Date]  [Place] [Desc][Notes] [Sources]


And finally, what do I need to do to get Legacy to do what I've clearly
told it to do? :-)


Thanks, as always,
Pat

Can't answer most of your questions but just check that you haven't
accidentally got an override in force.

What I can tell you is that the little tick box is nothing to dowith
refreshing the Sentence, but tells Legacy to remove any leading commas
on Locations.  (ie, if you have entered a Location as ,,California,
United States if will print as California, United States.

 Jenny, I've looked everywhere I can think of and the only override options
I've found have to do with source citations.  So I don't think that's the
problem.

What is the point of redoing a sentence definition if it's not going to

Try using the Reset button - bottom right of the screen when you have

That's because your Ancestors are only those in your direct line -

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports in RTF

Jerry,

As I understand it, the difficulties arise from differing interpretations of
rtf syntax. I am not well up on this, but I believe that there is no
specification for this, and/or any specification is read differently by
different compilers of the format.

Bob, Libre Office is actually a version of OpenOffice. The sponsorships of
OO.o have change several times, particularly in recent years, currently it
is Oracle, and it would seem that both they, and previous workers on the
project have continued with the work under a different title.

The using the reset button didn't do the trick. However, when I opened

 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!)

 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.
 Jerry

 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

 in the regular Legacy format. Is this the nature of the beast or is

Oracle has abandoned Open Office, turning it over to the Apache
Foundation.  Its future is still being considered.

The rich text format is a proprietary format developed and defined by
MS.  It is not surprising that WordPerfect, a bitter rival of Word,
would choose to alter its own implementation.  As has been stated both
Open Office and LibreOffice handle it much better.

 Jerry,

 As I understand it, the difficulties arise from differing interpretations
 of
 rtf syntax. I am not well up on this, but I believe that there is no
 specification for this, and/or any specification is read differently by
 different compilers of the format.

 Bob, Libre Office is actually a version of OpenOffice. The sponsorships of
 OO.o have change several times, particularly in recent years, currently it
 is Oracle, and it would seem that both they, and previous workers on the
 project have continued with the work under a different title.

Oracle has abandoned Open Office, turning it over to the Apache
Foundation.  Its future is still being considered.

The rich text format is a proprietary format developed and defined by
MS.  It is not surprising that WordPerfect, a bitter rival of Word,
would choose to alter its own implementation.  As has been stated both
Open Office and LibreOffice handle it much better.

Gene,

I was obviously unaware of the change of ownership from Oracle to Apache
Foundation, as I have not visited there website for some time. I just tried
and see that is now like picking a needle from a haystack. I guess my next
move will be to Libre Office, if they continue the development.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. It will be some time though as I'm using OOo

[LegacyUG] Reports in RTF

[Gociao]

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.

Jerry

You give insufficient information to identify your problem, but I would
suggest that you first update to the current version as the one you are

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports in RTF

[Bob Rowe]

Ron hit the nail on the head,



The current version is 7.5.0.112 and is a free download. Why would anyone want 
to run an old version?



What gets messed up? The Font? Font size? Spacing? Page breaks?

What word processor are you using?

There are over 100 possible setting changes one can make in all the different 
tabs you see during creation. Maybe have a look at all of them to see if they 
are set to what you want/expect.



I am running the current version - I created an Ancestor Book in RTF taking the 
default settings [I think] - opened it in Microsoft Word, and it is beautiful - 
just as I expected.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports in RTF

[Gociao]

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.
Jerry

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports in RTF

[Jerry]

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.

Maybe download OpenOffice (or one of the other free ones) and see if
that 'plays better' with the .rtf files?

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports in RTF

[Ron Ferguson]

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!)

The document is 124 pages in length and it would take hours to re-format
it..

situation.

 Subject: [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

[Gociao]

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,

 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!)

 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.

There's also LibreOffice ... which I have no personal experience with,

 Sally,

 1. The Descendant Narrative Report is NOT organized by generations. To
 have a report by generations use the Descendant Report not the
 Descendant Narrative.

 2. When Legacy exports pictures to a Word Processor, using the rtf file
 format, it makes no effort to size the pictures like it does in the PDF
 format or the print preview (which also uses the PDF file generator to
 format the report). The only way to make the report include smaller
 pictures would be to link smaller copies of the original large pictures.

My suggestion is to print the report in .rtf format without any pictures.  Use 
photo processing software to resize the picture and set the pixels per inch to 
300.  Then use tables as follows:  If the picture will be at the top of the 
page press enter once.  TableInsertTable; # of Col1; # of Rows2; select 
Auto fit ContentsOk; leave the cursor in the top table cell; on hard drive 
fine and highlight the picture file; EditCopy; then back to the .rtf file with 
the cursor in the top table cell; EditPaste; if you need to adjust the picture 
size, click on the picture, then click and hold the small lower right hand 
black square and move diagonally to adjust the picture size; select 
TablePropertiesTableAlignment Right; TablePropertiesTableText 
WrappingAround.  The second table row is for the caption.

Sally,

Try the Modified Register Report instead and you can get what you want.

Select the Descendants option from the Report menu.   From the Descendant 
Book window, select the Page Layout tab and you can then place a check mark 
into the Start new page after each generation...

Word does allow you to resize pictures.

However, the DPI or quality of a photo in Word is not the same as in other 
formats.  You lose a lot of photo quality in a Word document.

God bless,

[LegacyUG] Reports icon

[Kathy Meyer]

The Individual Reports window can be accessed by clicking on the Icon that
looks like a few pages with turned down edges and a picture of a printer on
front and right next to it are three downward facing arrows.  You can click
on either one to get to the Individual Reports window.  Why are they both
there? Is there any difference or any reason to click on one instead of the
other?

This is a very small thing, I know, but I was just wondering...Kathy

The 3 arrows  will restart the last report for the 'new' person. The 2 arrows 
scroll the search list. They cqan be placed wherever on the tool bar so may not 
be next to someone elses.

Re: [LegacyUG] Reports icon

[Kathy Meyer]

Thanks everyone!  There are these fun little tricks to learn about and I've
been using Legacy for quite awhile; I haven't used a lot of reports but that
should be helpful!  Silly me, not bothering to hover over the icon; I should
know to do that!

 The three arrows will bring up the last report type created - hover your
 cursor over them and that's the message that pops up (if you have that
 turned on - Options  Customise  General  Display tooltips).

 For you, it is bringing up the individual reports because that's the
 last report you used.  Try generating a different report, then clicking
 on the arrows again, and see the difference.

 Something similar happens with the Search icon.  The two arrows
 associated with that bring up the last search results.

 Hope this helps.  :-)

 Kind Regards,
 Wendy

RE: [LegacyUG] Reports icon

[Boyd Miller]

If you mouse over the three downward facing arrows you will see that this
brings up the last report you have created. The book icon opens up all the
reports, from which you can choose which one you want.

Re: [LegacyUG] reports and page numbers

[Ron Ferguson]

Las,

It is worth knowing that for every report the help pages are context help,
which show the functions of the options available for that page.

To answer your question, all reports have a tab called “Report Options” and
where applicable have a tab “Header/Footer” which includes the option for
switching these on/off and changing the contents. Other tabs enable the
selection of selected data only. Whilst I do not know what FTM “Outline
Descendant Report” is, if this is simply a stripped down Chart/Report then
it may be possible to get something similar by only including the basic
information which you wish to include.

Enjoy your play!

HI
I am new to Legacy - moving over from FTM version 16 - I like this program
but am trying to find some things similar to what I used in FTM.  Is there a
way to print reports without any page numbers?  FTM, also had a report
called Outline Descendent Tree - non-narative and you could choose any of
the facts/events in your file to to be included.  Is there anything similar
to that and am I just not finding it? Thanks for your help.
