Pat,

Name List Report
You can Print from the Name List.
You can choose to include the fields you want in that report.

I use it mainly to print a Search List to csv so you can sort in a 
Spreadsheet program.


Susie,
For a one-name study, if you haven't discovered the Name List Print to 
csv, it may be the answer you are looking for.
If you are using Excel as your Spreadsheet program, because it doesn't 
recognise dates before 1901, it's a good idea to change your date 
setting before you export to -MM-DD at Options - Customise 5.1 so a 
text sort on the date column sorts them in date order.


Martha, you might need to contact support direct re the error you are 
getting.

one with more than 50 events and more than 40 with images!

I have a PDF Printer installed so I PRINTED to that printer.

Playing with this has given me ideas on how to use it for my “one

This may be a better solution!

Hope that helps someone.

Hi Susie,

Sorry, I misread you.

You have discovered the Location Report for tagged locations showing the

Interesting - it doesn't show up as an option under the REPORTS menu.

Display the namelist - for me it is under:  My Toolbar, Namelist
May want to review the OPTIONS button (bottom of screen)
After done with OPTIONS, click the PRINT button (bottom of screen)
review all 4 tabs, check what you want included.
Click PREVIEW or PRINT
Note the options at bottom right of screen ("Report Destination) - I 
haven't played with it, but you may want to create a CSV file, then load 
that into Excel for slicing/dicing/sorting/etc.  And then print from Excel.

Hi Cathy,

 

Yes I have – but in fact the Individual Reports provides an excellent Location 
Index as well as Name Index. 

 

As I said, having now played with it I can really see the benefit of the 
Individual Report for EVERYONE in our situation.  Everyone’s and every group’s 
situation will differ – it’s just I can now see this option working really well 
for us!

Pat,

1. Go to Individual Report. At the bottom is the Record Selection
button. Click on that. You can then select "All Individuasl in the
entire family file"

2. No. But you can sort them later if you print the sheets out.

3. Of course they'll be numbered consecutively, but not in order of
the individual. You can select to include the RIN of the individual.

4/5. You can select to create an Index, but the Individual report
doesn't have a TOC option.

6. How long it takes depends on how many individuals you have in your file.



You can also print Family Group Sheets for everyone in your file. This
does have a TOC option.




Sincerely,
Sherry

Martha,

Before creating a super large report, back up the Family File (File >
Backup File), then run File > File Maintenance > Check/Repair.  Then
run the Compact File option under File Maintenance.

The report should run a lot faster then.

Hi Cathy,

 

Thanks for the update and suggestions.  As a One-Place study [not one-name] the 
PDF individual report is ideal and of course having each Individual Report 
starting on a new page is perfect for extracting individuals to pass on.

 

One of my “problems” with Legacy – there are SO MANY options and until you play 
with them you just don’t understand the benefits of different options!

 

After years of using Excel for historic reports I prefer to avoid them because 
of the date issues – prefer to go straight to Access or something which copes 
better with the dates! :)

 

I’ve used different options of web page creations etc etc etc for the different 
one-place study our group needs but having now played with this I can see a lot 
more options to suit our needs.

Martha, you might need to contact support direct re the error you are getting.

Like many Legacy reports, there are MANY options that you can chose to 
alter the appearance of the report.


I STRONGLY SUGGEST that you select 1 or 2 people to include in this 
report and play with the various different options until you are happy 
with the look.  Once you are happy with the look, SAVE the report LAYOUT 
and THEN run it for everyone.


Also, there are different ways of getting into this report:
* My Toolbar, Report Menu, Individual tab
* Reports, Pedigree Chart, then change to Individual tab
* Reports, Chart Reports, Individual Chart
* etc, etc, etc

You MAY also want to first run a NAME LIST report - it may give you what 
you want.  Although I think I prefer the INDIVIDUAL report.


So, to do a test run:
1 first (for testing/playing/experimenting), tag a couple of people 
using a tag that is not currently in use.

2 Reports, Chart Reports, Individual Chart
3 On the first screen, I'd suggest you do NOT check "include chronology 
pages" - when you generate the report for everyone in the database this 
can cause it to be EXTREMELY long (it can include such things as 
presidents, wars, kings, inventions, etc, etc, etc that occurred during 
each person's life) and it can cause the creation to take a LONG LONG time.

4 Click the RECORD SELECTIONS button near the bottom of the screen
5 Click the "Individuals with tag:" choice, and change the number to the 
number you used in step 1

6 click CLOSE
7a Make sure there is a CHECK MARK at the corner of INDEX OPTIONS button
7 Click INDEX OPTIONS button
8 Pick choices as desired.  In a couple minutes you will be doing a 
PREVIEW to screen first, so try something and do a preview.  Then try 
something else and do a preview.  Continue experimenting until the index 
looks as desired.
9 Note that it can create both a NAME INDEX and a LOCATION INDEX - 
select each tab to make changes.

10 Click OK to exit out of INDEX OPTIONS
11 Click REPORT OPTIONS button
12 Note that there are 4 tabs here with different choices.  Play with 
them and do a preview to see what you like.
12a - sounds like you DO want to select FORMAT tab and, in the 2nd 
column, pick "NUMBER ALL PAGES CONSECUTIVELY"
12b - don't overlook the buttons at the right for PAGE SETUP, HEADERS, 
FOOTERS  and for FONTS

13 Click CLOSE to exit REPORT OPTIONS
14 If desired, click COLOR TEXT AND BOXES button and play with the options
15 I do not see a way to create a table of contents for this report
16a Do NOT select PDF FILE yet (center right).  Instead, keep it on 
SCREEN/PRINTER

16b Click PREVIEW
16c Review the report, see what you like or don't like
17 Click CLOSE and continue to play with other options in INDEX, REPORT, 
and COLORS

18 Click PREVIEW
18a Repeat until you are happy with the layout
19 OPTIONAL - once happy with the layout, click SAVE (near bottom right 
of window).  This will allow you to save the report LAYOUT so you can 
get back to the same option choices later later.

20 Once you are happy with how it looks, click RECORD SELECTION
21 Click ALL INDIVIDUALS IN THE ENTIRE FILE (center of the pop-up window)
22 Click CLOSE
23 At the right center of the window, pick your output choice. Sounds 
like you want to pick PDF file...but isn't there a limit to PDF size?  
Or is it a limit on PDF dimensions (for when creating a chart)?  I 
remember running into a PDF limit someplace.
24 Since you selected PDF FILE, preview is no longer available, and the 
PRINT button has changed to CREATE.

25 Select CREATE
26 Give it a name.  MAKE A NOTE OF THE LOCATION (or change to another 
location) so you can find the PDF file later.

27 Click SAVE
28 Depending on the size of your file, this can take a LONG time.
29 Eventually you should see a pop-up offering to let you view the PDF 
file now.  Click YES or NO as desired.


To answer your specific questions
1. Where under "Record Selection" do I find "All individuals"?
See step 21 above

2. Do I have any options as to the order in which the reports are printed?
I don't think you get a choice of order

3. Will the pages be numbered consecutively?
See step 12a above

4. Will this automatically generate a table of contents?
Does not look like it

5. Will this automatically generate an index?
See step 7 above

6. How long will this take???
It depends on the # of people in your database, and on what report & 
index options you select.  I had several options selected (pictures, 
both indexes, etc) and I have about 1700 people - it took about 3 or 4 
minutes to create.


By the way - one way to find out how many people and "unattached" people 
(or groups of unattached people) is to select:

* View, TREES
* Total up the COUNT after each item in the TREE LIST.
* Chances our the item with the largest count is your main people/tree.  
All others in the list are NOT connected to your main people.

Good Morning Legacy Users & Pat,
I did an experiment with your question of a comprehensive pdf report.
I have 13,173 individuals in my database.

1. Attempted to do a complete individual pdf report: System locked up & 
Legacy shut down. I did this twice. [I have 16gb of Ram]

2. Created a htm file of all individuals, took about 4 minutes.
3. Created a text file of all individuals, this took not quite 5 
minutes.
4. Opened the text file with two different types of software, neither of 
which gives the # of pages.
The txt file cannot be opened with Word or Clones such as Kingsoft 
Writer.


So, this site will convert txt to doc
https://convertio.co/txt-doc/

File converted to doc and saved to hd = size of converted file: 23.4mb
The converted doc file has 7439 pages to it!

Martha
Los Osos, CA
