1. [PAF-4] Re: PAF-4-USERS-D Digest V03 #1 [1]
Dear Fred, Had an enjoyable visit to your site. Thanks for the link. It does not appear that there is a global name-change function in PAF-4 apart from place names and multimedia. However, I have achieved the same sort of thing by editting the GEDCOM. I would suggest the following procedure: o Backup your data files using the File menu>Backup command o Export your entire file as a GEDCOM using the File>Export command (expect you're familiar with that, eh?) o O
2. [PAF-4] File Naming Structure [1]
Vikki, I had been using the PAF 2.31 DOS version for many years and was reluctant to make a change, but a few months ago I had to replace my computer. The new computer has Windows XP home version, and I was forced to make a change. I was successful in converting the old 2.31 data to the newer PAF as follows: First I made a backup copy (NOT a GEDCOM) of all my 2.31 data files on the old computer. I then downloaded the PAF 4.04.18 program onto my new computer. I purposely used the 4.0 version rather tha
3. [PAF-4] File Naming Structure [1]
I recently got a new computer. My old computer was running Microsoft Windows NT 4.00.1381. My new computer runs Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 1. I migrated all of my .paf files from the old machine to the new machine. I downloaded a new copy of PAF version 4.0.4.18 onto the new machine and installed it there. Now the file names within PAF are showing up as C: \VLM_PA~3\OUR_DA~4.PAF. On my old machine the file names showed up as C: \VLM_PAF_Data\Our_data_20020822W.paf. Wh
4. [PAF-4] DEFINE CUSTOM EVENT PROBLEM [1]
I have added Religion as a New Event to an individual: The result was when printing out the Book it went something like "He joined religion Presbyterian" (or whatever denomination I typed in). However I do not care for the word 'joined' and would like it to read say "He was a Presbyterian" for example. To try and get rid of the word "joined" I went into the Define Custom Event box and played around with the sentence usage and verb construct instructions but whatever I do when the Book is printed the
5. [PAF-4] Reference Books [1]
All; This last Sunday the instructor in our ward's genealogy class mentioned a book that she had seen in the Deseret Book Store. Yesterday I spent about an hour examining that book. I think it is the best of its' kind that I have ever seen. It gives the recommended ways to enter data. It covers items such as date format, name formats, abbreviations, titles, name suffexes, names of locations, ordinance dates & places, abbreviations, preparing information for TempleReady, etc. It is a How-to-do-it k
6. Re: [PAF-4] File Naming Structure [1]
It appears that this may be a result of the method you used for transfer of the files. If you did it with DOS, then indeed, you have transferred them with the *~4.PAF type name to the new system. The use of the ~4 and such is used to truncate the names to the 8.3 file name convention of DOS. The 4 would indicate it is the 4th file with this same start in the name. You may just need to change the names on the new platform. Bill > > Sorry that I don't know the answer to your question, but with th
7. [PAF-4] Re. Changing surnames where spelling has variations, i.e. Irvine to Irving. [1]
Hi! there Folks, I have some surnames as above where I have instances where some are spelled Irving and others where it is Irvine. As a result of this I have duplicates where for convenience I wish to change the generic spelling from Irvine to Irving. When I have sources to enter they will have the correct spelling as within the source. Please advise if there is a way to do this on a 'Global' sort? Best wishes, Fred. -- Unless specifically stated otherwise in this message, there is no intentional atta
8. Re: [PAF-4] File Naming Structure [1]
Sorry that I don't know the answer to your question, but with this new up to the minute hardware and operating system, why are you using 2-year-old PAF. Many important bug fixes and enhancements have been made between PAF 4.0.4.18 and PAF 5.2 Vicki McAlister wrote:I recently got a new computer.
