Re: [LegacyUG] Photos not embedded in the reports
Cheryl, the User IDs are working fine. We just didn't want to have to delete MRINs that we pre-selected not to print. Our main issue is getting the photos and scans to show up in computers other than the one that the .rtf or .doc was produced on. The publisher will need to be able to see and print those photos. We hate the thought of having to embed each one manually.

Re: [LegacyUG] Photos not embedded in the reports
I think the maximum file size of a Word 2010 file is 32 Mb. This is a Word limitation not a Legacy problem as Legacy is generating it as a generic RTF file. Maybe the original RTF files needs to split into separate documents. Then have one master document to read theses sub documents http://www.howtogeek.com/73960/create-a-master-document-in-word-2010-from-multiple-documents/ :) Margaret On 26 May 2013 09:53, Ellen kramer...@comcast.net wrote: We are nearing the end of preparation of a book series on the family.

Re: [LegacyUG] Photos not embedded in the reports
Ellen, What exactly do you mean by User IDs, do you actually mean RINs? If the latter then I think that the MRINs will be printed but, if you set User IDs they should not. If you require further information please come back to us, giving the names of the applicable reports. Regarding your image problem, I use OpenOffice.org and have always had to embed the images in their word processor - sorry.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211489 The maximum file size is limited to 32 MB for the total document text only and does not include graphics, regardless of how the graphics image is inserted (Link to file, Save with document, or Wrapping style) into the document. Therefore, if the file contains graphics, the maximum file size can be larger than 32 MB.

Re: [LegacyUG] Photos not embedded in the reports
David, we do have separate documents. Some are very small for the One-Guy lines. However, some are hundreds of pages with hundreds of photos. I'm not techie with this, but I know that the file size was 400,000+ and Word 2010 would not respond unless we switched from an .rtf to a Word 97/2003 .doc. That made the file size smaller. We aren't sure how to put 25 different Legacy reports and our introduction together into a single document so that the pagination will work out. I have been thinking of going the route of the Publisher in Legacy, but none of the webinars promote that. There are multi-line reports, but that is within the same Legacy file. We have each immigrant in a separate file because of genealogists for a century identifying each line by a letter. It's been easier that way to be sure we are dealing with the proper lettered line to have them separated. I don't know though if Legacy will let us do a book in the Publisher with saving from multiple family files. So far my attempts have not worked with that. I LOVE Legacy in every way except for this final stage of publication.

The best thing to do is have a separate folder that you can copy and provide to the other users. For an example, the Legacy file name is JonesFamily, I would have a subfolder under the same folder that the JonesFamily file is located in, named JoneFamilyImages. Now these reports can be made and using the same folder of images from the same subfolder of images. This way the Legacy file, and/or the reports that have Links to this subfolder can be copied to a CD, USB drive or other external devices and the images would be available to all who opened the files from the external device. This is one of the reasons I do not like that Legacy by default puts ALL of the images in the subfolder under the Program folder.
