Using Legacy with Google Drive?

This is directed to Shannon Thomas.  Shannon some time ago you wrote on here about having your Legacy program (I think you said) in Dropbox??  (It was one of those cloud storage things).  I'm wanting to do this too in the hope that I can send a link to my family so they can view only our family history.  How do I go about installing Legacy on Google Drive please?

Using the repeat button in Legacy.

I can't remember if it was here or the Legacy User Group Facebook page where someone posted about using the 'Repeat' button when entering birth, death & marriage addresses.  Wherever it was I want to send out a BIG thank you.  I've always felt frustrated having to continually look up the addresses of cemeteries my ancestors frequently used but since finding out about the 'Repeat' button, I now adore entering cemetery details.  Thank you must also go to the Legacy people for making this facility available.

Using Function Keys F4 & F5 in Legacy.

Following on from +Mike Edwards post re Using Function Keys F4 & F5 to have your notes window & sources window open at the same time... this is what I get when I press the F4 after opening the 'Notes' section.  Anyone got any suggestions please?

Changing the gender to unknown in Legacy - how?

Is there a way to change a child's gender to 'unknown' please?  I would prefer to be able to change it instead of deleting & re entering as I have sources & media attached.  Thank you.

How to customize family screen in Legacy.

Can someone direct me to a Legacy video I watched recently where we were taught how, in the Family View section to change the titles of the areas titled 'Born', 'Christened', 'Died', 'Buried', 'Death Cause' please?  I know I watched it recently but I can't find it now that I need it.  Thank you.

New to LVUG community.

Hi folks, My name is Michelle Kaplan and I live on the east of Queensland, Australia.  I've been using Legacy for a number of years now (can't remember how many).  I am currently using Legacy 8 Deluxe and absolutely LOVE it and recommend it to others in other genie communities.  I'm proud to say I descend from a long line of convicts (at last count I think it was 11) & they have been extremely interesting to research.  It has certainly opened my eyes to how good we have it in today's day and age and I am eternally grateful for all they endured in order for me to be able to lead the life I do today.  I know I am not using Legacy to it's full potential but at present it does what I need it to do and am prepared to learn what I can when I can.  Thank you Tessa Keough for providing such a wonderful service to the genie community.

What about unrelated people in our family files?

I'd like to add some people to my Legacy Family Tree who played important rolls in my dead rellies lives but were not related.  I'd just like to know if & how others here get around this please?

Working with media - a question.

I believe I should be able to drag & drop photos (& I assume documents) within Legacy in order to be able to show the photos/documents in whatever order I would like to see them in.  I am unable to do this.  I have tried tagging all the photos for this particular ancestor & then dragging & dropping - when that didn't work I untagged all the photos & it still didn't work.  Anyone got any suggestions please?

Legacy 'Not Responding' (freezing) - why?

Does anyone else have the problem of Legacy 'Not Responding' (freezing) when adding media? This is happening to me repeatedly & the only way out (that I've found) is to go to the Windows Task Manager so I can close Legacy but when I do that, I have to start over again attaching the media.
