  1. When I create a people index sorted by surname, the sorting is not fully consistent. The index correctly displays the names in alphabetical order, followed by a correct alphabetical order of given names. However, equal given names are then sorted by the first two or three digits of the ID-numbers that follow the given names in parentheses. Within equal surnames, this procedure lists e.g. a Miller John (435) (1750-1788) after a Miller John (3234) (1820-1855). It would be nice to have equal names in a chronological order i.e. in the order of increasing birth dates (or at least in an order of increasing ID number). Is there any solution for this problem?

  2. Thank you, Vera. I am afraid that the sorting algorithm of MS Word puts the people in this order and that we cannot force a chronological order with TMG. In John Cardinal's Second Site the sorting is done better. In the SS-output I find the alphabetical/chronological order as I like it. Max

  3. Task Groups

    I am using keywords for the research tasks. It is then possible to select specific lists of tasks for any keyword or combination of keywords using an approriate filter. Max
  4. In Europe it is also a common practice to use N. N. (= nomen nescio) for unkonwn names. Max
  5. I am using the German language option and have a similar problem (TMG 6.09). However, it is not limited to the spelling of the month. The date fields do not accept any date format, except the four digits of the year (e.g. 2006).
  6. I have the same problem for the field "Completed". It is not possible to enter a date dd.mm.yy or mm-dd-yy. I can only enter the year without an error message l(anguage also set to German). Max
  7. I am using TMG 6.07 and have one project only. In all reports except the “list of tasks” the ID-Nr. is printed without a preceding data set number. However, in the above mentioned report, the ID-Nr. appears as (1:xxxx). Is this a normal feature or do I have a problem in my project data? Max
  8. Thank you Paul. This was indeed the simple reason. Max
