1

Legacy Family Tree's Quick Access Toolbar gives you quick access to your favorite Legacy shortcut. Whether you're viewing the Index View or looking around at the Reports tab, these shortcuts are always visible.

With one click, you have access to these four shortcuts:

  • Navigate backwards
  • Open a new family file
  • Backup your family file
  • Display the last report

You can select from 55 different shortcuts to include on this toolbar including:

  • Search the Internet
  • Relationship Calculator
  • Create a CD
  • Mapping
  • and more

Follow these steps to add your favorite shortcut:

1. In the upper right, go to Design > Toolbars > Quick Access Toolbar

2. Drag and drop the desired shortcut to the Quick Access Toolbar area and click OK.

    BTW, I also moved the Quick Access Tool Bar to below the ribbon. Easier to read. Can the bar be enlarged?

    Love the way we can customize Legacy. I changed my Quick Access Toolbar to:
    Back – Open Family File – Import – Name List – Relationship Calculator – Calendar – Picture Center – Genealogy Bank – Ancestry.com – Family Search
