It will be a text file in the same folder as the database you have imported into and it will contain a list of errors or items in the gedcom file that FO did not recognize and therefore did not import. It will list them by line number in the gedcom file so you can open the gedcom file in a text editor alongside of the .LST file, and go to each line that FO missed and see what it was. MSWord is one of the two major word processor programs that most people use. The other one is Word Perfect. Wayne League
Thank you so much Wayne I am getting more and more proficient with Word Perfect all the time...As a matter of fact I have waited all day for my wizard to show up so I can get my printer and speakers hooked up...so I got tired of trying to make all my place names as uniform as possible so I went to a program he gave me called paper port and scanned in my first page from a very old (18 page)index I printed out (in dot matrix)all caps because whatever program I created it with would not do non caps as I recall and now I can conceivably do the entire index without a whole bunch of typing...I have been trying to get this done for years(More than 4 years now) Any way ,I guess that pretty much answers my question and it is now up to me to decide what to do with them as I said before I have 155 of them and some are 0-1kb but some are 11,900 kb and I am sure glad I have 100 gigs to play with,so not to seem really stupid what is meant by specs as far as .lst is concerned??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne League" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2002 3:47 PM Subject: Re: [FO] Gedcom up to speed > "Sandra E.
