How to use "Save File As" to move a file

Open the family in Legacy.


​

1. Click on File.


​

2. Select Save File As.
​


​

3. A message will appear: "This option is copying your current family file to a new file with a new name or for copying your family file to a new folder with the same name. (It is not a Save option for your current file. All information is saved as you exit each edit screen.)" Click Yes in message screen. Another screen will open.
​


​

4. Change the location to your flash drive (it will be listed under Computer). This is where the copy of your family file will be saved.


​

5. At the bottom enter a name for the family file. It can be the same name or you can give it a different name.


​

6. Click Save.
​


​

Once the family file is saved to the flash drive you can move it to a new computer. Open the family file on the flash drive, and repeat steps 1 and 2. Next go to the navigation pane on the left side of the screen and click on Documents (under Libraries) and go to the Legacy Family Tree\Data sub-folder and then repeat steps 4 and 5.
