wnm 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2007 As a new user I'm asking what I'm sure is a simple question. Having successfully imported one project from Family Tree Maker, I'm looking for a way in which to access my narrative texts (I click the "more" tab in FTM for each individual's narrative.) I have lengthy narratives for many individuals having collected information over the years. I've read and reread the manual. I see the different formats to print out the information - Where do I go simply to read, enter and edit the narrative text information? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, in TMG go to the detail view of a person for whom you had a narrative and look for a Note tag, open it and and see if the narrative is in the Memo. I also recommend Terry Reigel's article on importing from other programs into TMG (including tips on FTM) at: http://tmg.reigelridge.com/Importing.htm Terry has a number of other articles you may find helpful in learning TMG.

I'm already having fun with the versatility of the layouts! Thanks again. [/size] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
