Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book

Sorry, You DO have to renumber when you move photos to a different position. When you position them differently, the endnote numbering changes. If you leave them in the same position relative to other photos and events, you do not. THAT is the problem. To make pages look okay, you DO have to

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Source Writer & Clip Board

Marianne, Other programs can't import a SourceWriter source so they are in a Gedcom as "Basic" style. As I understand it, where a SourceWriter template puts part of the source detail in amongst the Master Source data, then the source doesn't read as well but is understandable. I'm not sure

Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book

CE, If you create to RTF you do not have to renumber endnotes when adding or changing pictures. I just tried it. I don't think you are using RTF. Legacy certainly doesn't produce all the pictures in one size in an RTF. It's not so easy to add more footnotes in the same format, but I

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Source Writer & Clip Board

What exactly do you mean when you say "Source Writer" citations are changed to "Basic" in a GEDCOM? Are the reworded? Parts left out? How would they be different? Marianne From: LegacyUserGroup on behalf of Chick

Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book

Okay, I DO use endnotes; I mis typed. The problem is, that when you need to change the placement of photos because of horrendous placement using RTF, you DO have to renumber ALL succeeding endnotes. There is no way around that. Legacy produces all photos in one size. Depending on the

Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book

CE Use endnotes with RTF - I don't think there is the choice to use footnotes anyway. And you won't have the problem. Yes the pictures embedded in an RTF are all over the place. On reflection I'm not sure how much that matters as the reason to go via RTF is to be able to make thorough

Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book

Microsoft Word is certainly capable. Reminder: it is 2017. I would hope most people use Office 2010 or later, or Office 365. As I recall my experiences with it, Microsoft Word 2007 had some frustrating bugs that affected production of well-formatted documents (I did many, for scientific /

Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book

One major problem with producing a book with Word is pictures. The easiest way to input data into Word is by creating an HTML file and copying that into Word. Whwther you do that, create a PDF and copy in, or and RTF file, the footnotes are the REAL problem. The problem is, that pictures are

Carol, It sounds as if you haven't learnt to use all the features in Word which would stop those sorts of things happening. Consider watching the webinars on Word. The first one I think briefly mentions the use of sections etc. You need a webinar subscription to watch the others. Cathy

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching given names

In Index View, you can search by typing the surname in the surname box followed by a comma and the given name. eg: Smith,Ma or as many letters as you need to find the right section. Where people are often confused due to similar/same name, consider adding something to the given name or prefix

Re: [LegacyUG] Corrupted lists, switched genders and duplicates!

Yes. On some computers TeamViewer doesn't play nicely with Legacy - I think some screens go blank. But I don't think it would cause the switched genders and duplicates. Have you imported a gedcom from Ancestry? It would create duplicates and their gedcoms often seem to have switched genders.

Re: [LegacyUG] Publishing hard copy / printed book

I suspect that the reason many people have had problems with creating Book from Legacy using MSWord is that they are using it on a computer system with only minimal RAM and processing speed. Couple that with a Windows swapfile that exists on an older and slower hard disk drive is a sure-fire

Actually, the Name List can do what you want, Ian. If you set the Name List to include AKA (Go to Options at the bottom of the list and click 'Include Alternate Names" - you can also include Married Names), you can type in your Surname, Comma, Given Name(s). You should find Hazel easily. For

Thanks Jenny - that's what I had discovered and it's a bit cumbersome. I like to use the "universal" Control F which has been adopted by most software developers. Within Legacy v8 Deluxe, as far as I have tested, that key combination is unallocated, so it could be programmed quite easily. Ian

I had problems with a 125 page book using Word 2007. It was an editing nightmare. I've used Word for years and recommend perhaps saving in chapters in separate files. That way a correction on page 87 won't change words/pictures or placement on page 50. You could call BYU Print and Mail at
