againhope you are!
Over the years I've been collecting, and scanned, obituaries as I've
found them from a variety of sources and a variety of formats. Some of
the older of these were scanned with an old scanner and were saved

I think, for your purpose, you must use the Picture icon when attaching
anything that is in a graphic format i.e., .jpg .tif, whatever format
Legacy recognizes and will use as a Picture (graphic).
The other files would be attached by clicking on the File icon.
BTW, there is a free program,
be attached using the Pictures icon, not
the File icon?

For JPG, TIFF, etc. I think you are supposed to use PICTURE. Try that.

You must first have a program installed on your computer that will open
those kinds of files. For PDF files for example you need to have Adobe
Reader or another program that will open a PDF file installed.

That is a bit TOO much simplification. You can save a JPG as many times as
you like without degradation. It is only if the file is edited or modified
that saving will cause it to be recompressed and thereby degrade the image.
