To add a new, unlinked individual in Legacy 7,for example, I used Alt+A, then N. In Legacy 8, I have to click Alt+A, then grab my mouse. This is a deal breaker. Any tips??<br />Thanks,<br />DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-51198526761973350092013-11-28T19:24:48.807-08:002013-11-28T19:24:48.807-08:00Just read your latest post.

I own the manual and DVDs to support version 7. Can I get by with the upgrade alone or would you recommend buying the support materials for version 8? I'd like to make the purchase all at one time if possible. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. <br />Thanks!Steadgreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834227430156004870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-89751309952340635432013-11-27T17:50:01.622-08:002013-11-27T17:50:01.622-08:00I agree - the look and feel of the UI is great. T...I agree - the look and feel of the UI is great. They are lots of really neat features that I'd hoped to "test drive." However, I'm running Legacy on a Mac using Crossover....not sure if that is what is causing the "bugginess" or if others on PCs are experiencing the same issues. It seems most of my issues stem from changing settings from the default - primary family, colors, etc. I'm sure those issues will addressed in upcoming versions/upgrades. I was really hoping that Legacy would adopt more of the RootsMagic spreadsheet approach. While they did for events (you can see what sources and media you have for each item), it doesn't appear that you have the same ability for b, m, d...the most important events...Lauren Mahieuhttp://genejourneys.comnoreply@blogger.com
