1. Re: [PAF-5] Computer problem [1]
I agree with Gary and Lance. Terrific computer! You could probably get by fine with half this much computer but you really need to hang with it and learn the operating system. You will be glad you did.

Jill, before you return the PC, pay a visit to this HP site. There is a lot of advice there and links to manuals you can download: http://tinyurl.com/8h2zy They may be of some assistance. The HP m7067c model seems to be orientated towards media and may not be exactly your "cup of tea" (mine neither :-)). I would guess that the salesman has "upsized" (as they say at McDonald's) your original request, to a model you could have done without. HP do make less sophisticated machines so if you have no success wit
3. Never import a Gedcom into your main Database [1]
You don't want to import a GedCom into your main Database before you check it to see if you want everything. You can import it into a Separate New Data Base and edit it first. I think this is always a careful way to do this. Donna
4. Re: [PAF-5] Wrong sexfor hubby & wife. [1]
in order to change the sex the individual must not be linked in a marriage. you will have to delete all marriages for an individual and then change the sex and then you can add the marriage back.

Stewart, I do not understand what you mean by "Incidentally - here is a challenge - once you know the Ahnentafel number (from the book report) - by converting it to a binary format can tell you the exact relationship to the starting individual and provide a trace of their genealogical relationship as well as any "ladder" formatted report." How do you convert to a binary format? Thank you Jennifer -- To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act. ---Anatole France

11. Re: [PAF-5] Duplicate Individuals [1]
Generally you should just merge them. You have to different records with the same info and that is all the RINs mean. You might want to check folks related to the RINs first and also do a backup in case something goes wrong (use the Backup on the FILE menu). If you have read this list for very long, you would have seen previous discussions about RINs. They are a convenience, but are really just used by the program go control the number it needs for records. You have no control over the RINs and they

Hello to the list. I want to print a "ladder" ahnentafel where No. 1 will be Thomas Bradbury, No. 2 his father, No. 3 mother, etc. I don't see how to do this with PAF or with PAF Companion 5.1. Will Companion 5.2 do it? Thanks, Dolly in Maryland

Hi Patricia, This is sort of an ambiguous question because you don't indicate what your relative plans to do with the Word doc when he or she gets it. The standard method of handling genealogy data outside of a computer database is to have a big stack of pedigree charts and family
15. Re: [PAF-5] Installing PAF [1]
I endorse Stu's comments about the dangers of managing multiple copies of a database. While having a network makes what Stu recommends much easier, his comments are just as viable without a network. It is imperative to consider one of the copies the Master file, and all others subordinate. I too have my laptop version designated as the master database because it is where I do most of my updates. When I travel, it goes with me so I can update new research. I commute daily and work on it on the tra
16. Varying the print in PAF notes [1]
Hi Listers I have just been told about this list. My problem is that the notes I append for various family members look very boring - no Bold, Underline or Italic to highlight important info. I've received advice, such as using CTRL/B or cutting and pasting from WordPad, but any success I've had reverts to the same old style when reopened. Help, please!!! Kind regards Joy

Here's more detail on my earlier messages. I went through this with a PAF file and wrote down the following. This will give you a PDF file or a RTF file of your PAF Book Report. (I realize that only a few will be interested in this, but once one gets started trying to figure this all out, it's hard to let go. A learning experience!) -Open PAF file, in Family View, and put earliest ancestor in primary position; be sure his box is highlighted/selected. -Go to --> File --> PrintReports--> Books -->Modifi
18. RE: [PAF-5] Error Messages [1]
Exporting the whole database and re-importing it is the ONLY way to clear these errors. On re-import, just make sure you DON'T click REUSE DELETED NUMBERS otherwise your RIN's will change.

21. How do I...... [1]
Hello, all PAF experts!! I have tried to produce a family group sheet (it happened, when I first started using this program) but all I get, now, is that really weird-looking '.rtf' version, even when I print it off. I have no way to use the 'so strange' .rtf version, on several sheets of paper, when all I want is one sheet, or at the most, two. Please, kindly advise this old fat dummy!!

22. Re: [PAF-5] Installing PAF [1]
Using multiple copies of a database is fraught with danger. I speak from experience as I have juggled laptops and multiple desktops. Even if you have synchronization software, you can get yourself caught making changes or additions to both and end up with a mess. This is more true of databases where the changes are made immediately. Windows used to have the briefcase for keeping multiple databases, but it was cumbersome and one of the first things I removed. I use a single database (.paf file) across

25. Re: [PAF-5] Installing PAF [1]
Hi Ruth, I haven't seen any response to your query, so I'll offer some thoughts. Your question is a bit confusing because you indicate your want to download the latest PAF to your PC, laptop, and a flash drive, but you don't specify if you mean the program or the database. If you plan to install PAF 5 onto a flash drive, you should do it before you install PAF onto your laptop, because the PAF install program will not allow you to install on a flash drive if you have already installed it on the host
