US to UK

Recommended Posts

I recently upgraded to version 7 UK gold. My prevsion was version 5 US. My problem is that when I restored the files into 7 the only tags, etc I get are the US ones. Preferences is only showing the US option. HOw do I change this to get the UK options. Having not done any genealogy for a couple of years I am now trying to catch up but this problem is frustrating me no end. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

I was glad to read the XP to VIsta and back again question as I also have this problem. Now that one is solved.

An existing US project will not be changed when opened in the UK edition. In other words, the UK customizations will not automagically appear in your US project.

 

If you are running the UK edition and want to add UK customizations to a US project, you need to do the following...

 

Create a new project. This project will have the UK customizations.

Add a dummy person with a Birth event to this project.

 

Open your US project.

Merge the new UK project into your US project. (File / Merge)

Merge the UK data set into your existing US data set. (File / Data Set Manager)

 

That will add the UK tag types, styles and source types to your existing US data set.

 

You can globally change the style for existing tags using TMG Utility.

There is a TMG UK mail list.
