Re: [LegacyUG] Split Screen View, Drag and Drop all in File, adding visible \par to text

How long have we had the option to "Strip Html"? Have not tried it during a merge but expect using that option on notes during a merge will delete the notes totally? Jay = On 10/30/2017 9:04 AM, Gene Young wrote: On 10/30/2017 9:27 AM, tamaram1 wrote: So

I don't know what is the problem, but it should be as simple as subscribing using the new email address and once that is established you can safely unsubscribe from the old address. Joyce On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 1:58 AM, carol brundage wrote: > I followed

Re: [LegacyUG] Split Screen View, Drag and Drop all in File, adding visible \par to text

If I remember correctly the /par code is a code used in rich text format(rtf) files to indicate a paragraph. The text you are copying from Ancestry may be in rtf format. Try pasting the text into Notepad first (that should get rid of any special codes and convert the copy to plain text). You

Legacy 9 has a predefined MyHeritage Search, is that not working for you? Here is the search string in that predefined search: http://www.myheritage.com/research?formId=master==query=0=1=Name+fn.[GivenNames]+ln.[SurName]=Event+et.birth+ey.[BirthYear] The data preparation pattern is [ ]=[%2F3]

Re: [LegacyUG] why can't I change email address, eliminate this and use the one I tried

When you joined this mailing list, you should have received an email with the subject line "Welcome to the "Legacyusergroup" mailing list", which you should have kept safe as it contains useful information. One of the useful bits of information in that email is a link to where you can change

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Notes

Martha, As a member of the beta test list I was able to find a bug report on this problem with reports in text format and have added your report to it. One thing I was not able to confirm was your statement that the problem also occurs with rtf reports. When I tested the rtf output and

Re: [LegacyUG] .fdb file list

Hi Pat There is a wonderful little free program that will give you a list. Here is the download link. http://www.tucows.com/preview/607345/Directory-List--Print When you open it up, find the file where you have your Legacy data stored. Then to the right of the open window, check the boxes for

Re: [LegacyUG] .fdb file list

Alan, Search Help in Legacy for file extension and you'll get a list. There's a few missing but most are there. Pat is wanting to Print a list. Why Microsoft haven't added that to File Explorer is a continuing mystery. Cathy Alan Torrance Tuesday, 31 October 2017

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Notes and now... /par

Hi Martha, Then you need this at the end of your sentence definitions. This starts the Event Notes on a new line and doesn't leave a blank line if there are no notes. [:if [Notes]::[CR][Notes]] The superscript is for the Sources. You can have Sources either before or after the Notes - see

Re: [LegacyUG] .fdb file list

Hello Pat, I am fairly new here, but am a very long-time user of PCs and have an official Microsoft qualification. In the “CUSTOMISE” (in “Legacy”) there is a facility to edit where your files are saved. If you then go to that folder using “Windows Explorer” or via “Start” menu (etc),

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Notes and now... /par

Hi Brian, You are right, I must have unticked the boxes for the rtf when I was playing with the settings. I am also unhappy with the wording concerning the events. I cannot get them right no matter what I do. Some of them make no sense at all. Holy Moly! I just found the dreaded /par on one

Hi Cathy, I know that, but what I want to do is not there. I am consistent with data entry. Here is what I get when all fields are filled. this applies to Census work: When I put in Draft Registrations, it is even worse. He appeared on the 1900 Federal census on 4 Jun 1900 in Chicago, Cook,

Pat, The easiest way to send you cousin the part of your database that relates to her is to 1. Set relationships to her 2. use Search - Find - Detailed Search Individual - Relationship - equal to - Related 3. tag the search list 4. export that tag group with all the secondary checkboxes

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Notes and now... /par

Martha, So long as you have entered data consistently you can Edit the Event Sentence Definitions so that they make sense for your data entry. Note there are 8 sentences for an Event to reflect the different fields you may leave blank. Then there are similar sentences for each role when you

Re: [LegacyUG] Event Notes

Hello, I just remembered what I did to create the file I need. The desc book in text or rtf still does not do what I want, but what I did previously was to create a pdf, then convert to a doc file. Then it works. Sorry to be a bother. But it would be nice if legacy included event notes in a

Sorry again, I'm sure there is a correct channel to send this at/to. I have thought it might have been before I started using Google chrome. I have no problem since I changed. The rft format might be the problem, even tho i dont know what i did to make all the older ones do this, the par back

Good Morning, I am working on a file in preparation to putting a family online. In the past [last week] I was able to create a Descendant book, modify it and incorporate it into my web software. The file contained, among other things, event notes. I want all the text in the event to show up
