  5. Hi I'm wanting to setup Latitude /Longitude Places in TMG so that I can create maps in Second Site , but I'm having probles in TMG. I'v3 located a cemetry on Google maps at Peak Hill NSW Australia and the Latitude /Longitude reads : Latitude: -32.693159 Longitude: 148.189028 I input this into the Master Place field place field L9 which reads Coordinates - as 032693159S014889028W However when I click on the icon for "Get a map of this place " and select "Google maps by Lat/Long " it finds a place in ocean off Somalia in East Africa and obviously not Australia Google maps search line shows : 3.4592 59.0300 However when I select "Google maps by place name " the Google maps search line shows : Peak Hill Cemetery NSW Australia and finds places in the USA but when I change the Google maps search line to : Peak Hill Cemetery Peak Hill NSW .............then presto it locates the correct location in Australia , but why doesn't Peak Hill appear in the search line ?? Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated ? Thanks Zane McCarron
  6. Hi Just a suggestion that TMG takes the exhibit's caption from the files IPTC caption field and that the process be dynamic , so that any changes made to the IPTC caption at a later date are automatically updated to TMG exhibits This would save me many hours of re-entry as I have over 1500 images ?. .....and this would dovetail the workflow for Second site who do pickup the IPTC caption field if TMG exhibit caption field is blank . Thanks Zane McCarron
  7. I've received the following error when restoring a backup file onto my Vista Laptop produced from my desktop running XP. The error reads : dyna zip unzip error no files to test , extract ( no itmes match file spec) I'm trying to move the data to my laptop for a field trip . Any thoughts on how to resolve would be appreciated. Then when I return I'm hoping to reverse the backup/ restore process Thanks Zane
  8. Laptop restore error

    It worked , thanks zane Zane, I assume you might have the backup file you're trying to restore on an external hard drive, right? If so try the following: save / copy the backup file anywhere on / to your laptop first (i.e. on the desktop of your laptop) and after that try to restore it.
  9. Hi I'm using the 7.03 UK version with advanced data entry , but the place styles on event tags frequently defaults to the US style when I would prefer the UK style . How do I make the place style default to be UK since the "Custom styles" under preference is greyed because I'm using the UK version In the Master style list the "US standard" is listed first followed by the "UK standard" and I can't see where I can change the order ? Thanks Zane
  10. Hi I'm wanting to rename my TMG exibit files into a single folder using the structure under may username name /The Master Genealaohist I'm thinking of using the following structure but would appreciate some critical comment & suggestions from other TMG users , since it's a fairly big task to impliment! File name example : T99999McCarron George W PWED#1 Where : T99999 = "T" + TMG ID code McCarron George W = Surname + 1st name (full) + 2nd name initial PWED = Document type ( see possible list below) #1 = Sequence no for within document type Document types ============ Birth cert = CBRC Death cert = CDE Mariage cert = CMR Baptism = CBA UK Census 1851 = U1851 Newspaper articles = NEWS Photo- portrates = PORT Photo- wedding = PWED Photo- gravestones = PGRAV Photo- others = POTH Sevice records - WW1 = SWW1 Thanks Zane
  11. Photo size

    Hi I've been resizing person photos to 200 x 300 pixels for use on Second site persons page where it looks great being displayed with surrounding text . However when used for events like gravestone's for burial , marriage & place photo's then I'd like a larger size show more details , like reading the gravestone inscriptions . Can somebody recommend a size for these types of photo's ? Thanks Zane
  12. Hi I've have TMG vers 6.12 UK version but there's a number persons / events with a US style . To corrcet I've used John Cardinal's Utility but it doesn't seem to have worked . Under preferences it says "These options are not relevant in this localised version of TMG" Any suggestions ?? Then in second site the "Places Index " the Town/City field [L5] is not appearing ?? Could this be related to my TMG problem above ?? Thanks Zane
  13. Change place styles

    Joan Thanks but I'd prefer UK style for all records , so I need to change those with US style to UK but John Cardinals utility doesn't work for some reason !!. Hence I'm wondering whether there's another method like s restore , reinstallation or copy data to another dataset . I'm getting pretty desperate !! Thanks Zane
  14. Hi Currently I'm including nicknames in brackets within the given name field . Example : Herbert (Bluey) Joseph Wright I've noticed that there's a field called "Other Name" that the "Getting most out of TMG) suggests be used for nicknames. However if I were to input Herbert Joseph into "Given name" , Wright into "Surname" and Bluey into the "Other Name" fields , then how can the output to reports (inc name indexes ) and screens be changed to read Herbert (Bluey) Joseph Wright ?? Thanks Zane
  15. Hi I've been inlcuding a person's nickname within " " in the given name . Howver I've just discovered that this causes problems in the surname index on the Descendant report & other reports Example " Desmond "Des" McIntryre appears on the Surname index as McIntyre , Desmond Ronald "Ron" McIntryre appears on the Surname index as McIntyre , Ron That is it ignores everyjtimg after " .?? Any suggestions as to how I can overcome this problem.?? Thanks Zane
  16. Surname Index - Desc report

    For your information , I've resolved my own problem !!!. I replaced the " " with () and presto the full name appears in the index , e.g. McIntryre Ronald (Ron) rather then just McIntryre Ronald. ....and that ggood news !! Must have something to do with Word's indexing ? Zane
  17. Hi I've changes over to the UK version but have some old place stsyles as "US style". How can I do a mass change from the "US Styles" to UK Style ?? Thanks Zane
  18. Hi Is there anyway of including spouse details on the Decscendent narrative report similiar to teh Journal report ? Thanks Zane
  19. Hi On the Journal report for persons with no children it reports the birth , marriage & death details + other tag information. However for those with children ( indicated with a "+" sign ) only the birth & marriage details and no "death" details ?? . Is there any way TMG can be configured to report the "death" infomation for person with children ?? , because it appears as though you don't have that information when you really do ? Thanks Zane
  20. Hi I've copied / pasted text from a Word document into a Tag memo field from where it was diffivult to edit ?. Can this be done & if yes then are there any "tricks" or workarounds ?? Thanks Zane
  21. Copy /[paste from Word

    Virginia the "Paste format text " works just fine thanks Zane
  22. Hi All my reports are being output to a file rather then the screen as selecetd on the screen ?? Any suggestions ?? Thanks Zane
  23. Hi Would appreciate some advise on how to input 2nd marriages ( tags & sentence structures) , so that on the narrative reports any children are reported as from the 1st , 2nd or even 3rd marriage . Zane
