---------------------------------------------- And now for today's tip... AVOID ATTACHING Avoid sending attachments to mailing lists. If you send an attachment as small as 20K to a mailing list that has 100 members, you generate over 2MB of increased Internet traffic. When you consider that most attachments are considerably larger than 20K and most mailing lists have many more members, you're looking at serious Internet slowdown. If you want to let mailing list members know about, say, a great article you just found online, include Mailing Lists Deliver Tech Info For the complete story, visit http://www.pcworld.com/tipnews ----------------------------------------------

But for some reason, occaisionally, I get reports that the fonts didn't get installed. This is normally noticable by a few letters being cut off on the right hand side or on list reports where one column seems to run into the next. The solution: 1. If you are using Windows 3.1 go to the Control Panel and Fonts and install the 4 Lund fonts. They should have been copied into the c:\windows\system directory. 2. If you are using Window 95 then use Explorer to find the fonts. They should be in c:\windows\fonts. (Although some earlier versions of CFT-Win inadvertantly installed inot c:\windows\font - without the "s". If this is the case you may copy the four files to the proper location.)

Reports print out ok...but can't read the right side margins as they "run off the page." What causes this and can we correct it? Verne Garrison; Elkhart, IL vgarris@abelink.com

Hello Ira and all, Gedcom export and marking/unmarking of records I am wondering if I have misunderstood how this function should work. Therefore I will explain what I am trying to do - but fail. I want to make a gedcom file of all desceased descendants of one of my 2. great grandfathers. Therefore I do the following: 1) Mark all descendants w/spouses of that couple. The result after step one is 517 individuals. 2) Unmark all living. Step 2) takes forever (it feels like that) - and the result is that all living are marked (Yes - I have checked the Unmark field). I believed that step 2 should unmark all the marked persons that are living - leaving me with the deceased individual of the selected descendants - but it does not seem to work that way. Ira - will you explain how this is meant to work? Regards Sigurd Eliassen Norway

Hallo Ira, I mean for example, the number of the certifcate, that a just married couple got. The regsitry office at Berlin is one source, and there are so many events. I cannot make a source with "Standesamt Berlin 1997/1" and the next one "Standesamt Berlin 1997/18" and the next "Standesamt Berlin 1997/365" and so on. The only one source had to be "Standesamt Berlin" and the number must be separated. Albrecht mailto: Albrecht Will@t-online.de

For some events it is usefull to note more than only one source. Is it possible, to extend the information? For example, Birth: Family Book and official record. Also I ask for the possibility to give one more information for EMPL. It is also nessecary to give the kind of employment. For example: ... worked at Berlin by Siemens as a worker or as an engeneer or other job. One of OCCU and EMPL is perhaps redundant? But profession is an enormous important information. In this connection it would be nice to improve the handling with the sources. For example: There is a source "registry office", but there is also a number, for the event. It would be better to connect the number with the source. I do not agree, that it is nessecary to build a book of all informations about the individuals of a family. I find it better to create tables for all the individuell informations. The repeatition of all Informations of the children during the representation of the parents ist not very lucky. For me is the best of the program the collecting und fast handling of the dates and some short desriptions. I tried some other programs, they offered sometimes phantastcally graphic possibilities but all of them are not so sure like CTFW! Thanks Albrecht Will mailto: Albrecht.Will@t-online.de

I have found - in my informal survey - that the reason that some of my CFTW friends have seen salmon pink on my home pages rather than the intended warm ivory was that their Win95 systems were still set to the default 8-bit (256) color rather than something higher. I can see no practical reason (correct me if I'm wrong) for keeping a system at 8-bit color when it's easily changed to 16-, 24-, or even 32-bit color. Go to My Computer/ Control Panel/ Display/ Settings/ Color palette and click on High or True Color, and OK. Then see whether the pages are still salmon pink. Hope this helps. Enough said.

Some of my event descriptions havebeen truncated for some reason. The description for BAPM is truncated to: "Baptism (child or adult baptism - cannot substitut". The description for CHR is: "Christening (Infant baptism - can substitute for b". The description for CHRA is: "Christening (Adult baptism - may be used rather th". Everything wlse seems to be OK. Can you give me the rest of the descriptions for those three events? I wonder what caused it? Thanks. Ed Blakeley mailto:stjoed@coolsite.net
