  1. thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!!!!!!!!!!! susan You are an ANGEL!
  2. After running the check file integity option I find 114 missing external exhibits. Is there a way to get a list of the ones missing? with 11,000 family member's profiles it would be so much faster than to figure it out individually.
  3. thank you both for your timely answers but it didn't quite answer my questions. Let me elaborate. I have been using other software programs through the ages, started off in DOS, and the last before TMG was the Ultimate Family Tree (UFT). when I imported a rather large data base from UFT, it imported all the images that were already in that program as internal exhibits. I actually don't want to have to go into TMG and deal with making them all external at this point. And I will not be making any web pages out of this program, it's a book I'm pritning as the output, Journal of the entire project. I understand the resolutin issues, but I have made all the newest graphics the same resolution as the previos in CS2 (Adobe Creative Suite 2) which I use for my graphic work, but it doesn't output them the same. I'll work on this band get back to you. Susan
  4. Love the program, hate my lack of knowledge. Ok. Exhbits. If I understand the book and help correctly.... I have added an exhibit, a graphic (.jpg) and then changed it from external to internal, I don't mind the size of the program with all my exhibits included, but when I try test reports, some of the graphics are tiny, thumbnail size, and some are the size of the orginal graphic and I've done nothing different to them. They are "expandable" in Word®, so I can go in and "stretch" the mini ones, but with 1100 pages so far of journal it will be a daunting task to both edit the thing and resize all the mini graphics. Can you explain in terms a child could understand what I am doing wrong? susan> not only new but so new I am lost in exhibit maze and can't seem to find my own breadcumbs.
  5. Well actually after I read his web site and his comments on the negatives of merging, I chose to take his suggestion that I just bring up two TMG programs, make each small enough to sit side by side, and input what I need by hand, thus saving myself a ton of headaches. It's working great. One can go read this remarks about merging versus copy but this is what I chose to go with after reading the entire thing. And I am quoting from his page. "If the received data is any form of genealogy program file, import it or open it in TMG, preferably as a separate Project. Then open a second copy of TMG, with your Project in one and the received data in the other. Arrange the two copies of TMG so that at least some of each is visible on your screen. Then use Windows copy and paste functions to copy the data from the received Project to your own." We have 5,000 names + in each project, but I only needed some new ones she has added, not all, in fact very few compared to the total number of individuals, but I also wanted to "compare" so we would have the same material as each other, so this way worked best for me. I don't have to mess with my own project, and I can use hers as a reference and take what I need and just do some typing, and copying and pasting. Don't mind the input, I think it will work better for me, don't have to delete, merge, and my project is still as good as new.
  6. Thanks I was trying to avoid merging, but it appears I will have to. Thanks for anwering. Susan
  7. Yes, I am apparently TMG challenged. My sister and I have moved from DOS programs through the years to other Gen programs, and now have decided on the TMG 6 Gold. My import from our last venture, Ultimate Family Tree went very smoothly, no probems worth mentioning. The new "issue"? We decided to check to make sure we had the same thing going on, so she sent me a CD of her project. For some reason we thought we could import each other's information as a 2nd data set and compare them side by side and take what we needed from one data set (hers) into the other data set (mine for sake of discussion). But I can only see a way to import version 4 tmg and below. Is there any way to take the main data set out of her project (which is version 6 Gold)into my project (same as hers) as another data set, take what I want, then delete it? How do you export for instance NOT as a Gedcom file, but as a data set? Possible? Any of this?
