Hi
How do I move the layouts from one computer to the other?
In which folder are they placed by the programme V7

Kind regards
Richard

Layouts (*.lo files) are stored in User Program Data Files, by default:

Windows Vista:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\The Master Genealogist v7

Windows XP and Windows 2000:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\The Master Genealogist v7

For information on the location of v7 data files, see Help > Data File Storage.

I'd think the easiest way to move them is to included them in a backup, then then restore them along with other settings. Be aware, however, that if the second computer has a different screen resolution then layouts may not work well there.

My book, A Primer for The Master Genealogist, should soon be available
again in the U.S. It remains available in Australia. Information is available on my website.
