Then I am confused. There is no clipboard for reports. The report screens do have a save and load button but those save the current report option settings so you can repeat a report later using those settings. There is no clipboard. If you tried to…

In fact there are several clipboards in Legacy, Event clipboards, Picture gallery clipboards, Source clipboards etc. and each is slightly different. In most cases you cannot "look" at the contents of the clipboard. You can Open the Source…

Hi, I have saved an item to my clipboard but, even after looking in the manual for help, I can't find how to look at it. It must be easy. Carolyn

I would just leave the given name blank. Only enter the surname for the child. Legacy will happily accept a person with only a surname.

Lewis Hartswick commented on Geoff Rasmussen's group 'Legacy Family Tree fans'
Just went through the discussions and didn't see matching question: I have been transcribing a family tree from a book into Legacy and there are numerous instances of a child, either died at birth or "in infancy" with no name. I have…

Technology Tip: restoring old photographs

With today's technology, not much really surprises me anymore. However, as I am writing this, I am nearly stunned at what I am looking at.

I have a brittle, old photograph of my 3rd great-grandfather, David Brown (there I go again talking about my Browns...). Time has faded and cracked the photo. Many years ago I scanned/digitized the photo to preserve its current state. I really did not think there was much hope in ever restoring the photo to my…

Good idea. I don't want to publish anything "official", just want to give non-LDS users some further understanding which your comments have accomplished.

Hey, Geoff, I got thinking about it some more, and if / when you re-publish my comments about Legacy & FamilySearch, you might want to add a disclaimer that I am not speaking officially for FamilySearch and/or the LDS Church. I would hope that's obvious, but I certainly don't want to over-step my bounds anywhere...

Thanks again for the invite to test Legacy FS. I'm looking forward to it!

Geoff,
Feel free to re-publish my comments as you feel is appropriate. (I don't know that all of it would make sense away from the context of the original comments.) You can especially add the part about "Please hurry with 7.5!" :)
By the way, is there any way to get included in the "special group of testers" that got to help with the final testing of 7.4? In case you can't tell, I'm chomping at the bit! :)
Thanks for a great product! --RayDean

Dear Mr, Rasmussen,
Glad to join your group and willing to help others of what I know of Legacy.
BUT I would appreciate help on how to load pictures into Legacy - I am going round in circles.........
You must be busy - kindly direct me to someone. After a couple emails I would like to phone and go over the step by steo instructions.
Adding pictures to my, Manitoulin Family Trees database is very imporation to me.

Many thanks,

Everybody has received this scam makemoneywith--on GenWise. We don't need this scam. I sent in a complaint by clicking on "report issues" you find at the bottom of the page. There's lots of information on the Internet about this scam. This is just one link:
http://www.prosperly.com/2009/make-money-posting-links-on-google-is-a-scam/

We don't need this nonsense on GenWise. Put in a complaint when you get a chance.

Hi Russ,

I see all my friends are getting this makemoneywith-google also. Who can we complain to? I do not want any soliciations like this on my page.

I'll try to get it done by the weekend, OK.

I am an avid fan of Legacy having used it for a number of years now. I'm based in Scotland and am impressed with the amount of UK content you have given your software. There are some things which people are commenting about at the moment, especially sync'ing. I would like to try to write a full article explaining this aspect as it really is relatively easy. Would you be interested in proofing it if I did so?

I am very interested in the Legacy program - having been a user of FTW/FTM for many years. I would like to know if you, or other Legacy users are familiar with the old Gen. report in version 5 of FTW. It was my very favorite, so workable in MS Word, and I rec'd. many compliments on reports I did with that one. They totally messed it up with 2008. I would like to know if Legacy has the ability for that kind of report.
Have a Great Day
Carol :-)
