What is the difference between unrelated and spouses and in-laws?

Could someone please explain the difference between 'Unrelated' and 'Spouses and Inlaws'. In Detailed Search there's only one qualifier; Equal To. Relationship Equal To 'Spouses and Inlaws' should be different than Relationship Equal To 'Unrelated'. But, it isn't. When I search for 'Unrelated' I get Inlaws. When I search for 'Unrelated' minus 'Spouses and Inlaws' I still get Inlaws. When I search for 'Spouses and Inlaws' I just get Spouses.

Linking Evernote files to Legacy.

Image
Once you create your note in Evernote : 1. Right click on note in Evernote and click Copy Note Link. 2. Open the Media Gallery by clicking on the image icon below your person ( you can also open the Media Gallery from within an event). 3. Click on Add Media and then Internet Website. 4. Paste link in Website URL and add any thing else. 5. Click OK and then double click to open. Note : Legacy opens your browser first for you to log in to Evernote on the web and then opens the desktop version of Evernote with you note visible. I know it looks like a lot but it is really easy. In the Media Gallery you can also attach documents. I have saved information to PDFs and attached them as well but I don't have to do that step now since Legacy will open an Evernote note. YAY!!

Handling information in tabular format within Legacy.

Image
So the topic I really need to discuss is the handling of tabular format data within the Legacy environment. As you can see in the following images I have attempted to transcribe some tabular information into Legacy. Firstly I attempted to do it directly into a Notes field but the lack of word processor and table controls made this painful. I then tried it using MS Word with its table features ( Fig 2). However the result in the Note (Fig 3) is not WYSIWYG which made final formatting difficult to judge (see fig 4). The next attempt was in MS Notepad (fig 5) using the TAB key to format the columns. This was reasonably successful in both the Note field (Fig 6) and when used to produce a Report (Fig 7). BUT when I tried to do the same thing with the web format it all turned to ….. custard. (Fig 8) In short tabular data seems to be really harder than it should be. Thus my question: Is there an easier way, am I missing something? ...

How to search posts in the LVUG community.

Originally shared by Bob Thompson I haven't posted before so I hope this works. This question is not strictly about Legacy but about Google+. (Sorry Tessa) I wanted to look through all of the posts to see if the question I wanted to post had been asked and answered previously. And that's where I got stuck. How do you search through JUST the LVUG postings?

Tuesday's Tip - Putting a print date on reports.

Image
Tuesday's Tip - In answer to Elizabeth's question on putting a print date on reports - here are a few images to walk you through it. I think it is a good idea to include your publishing information - draft, unpublished, research, whatever, and include if you want to require permission to use. Be sure to click the box for including a print date (real helpful when you want to compare various versions). Hope that helps. (Google has changed the upload feature so hope this works right).

Hi Everyone! I am getting ready to re-issue some descendant reports and I am wondering if there is a way to put a print date somewhere.  I am starting to get confused about just when I last printed a report. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
