I use the copy and paste fact feature quite a bit. So far I have not experienced any problems such as you describe. Since you say that compacting the file does not help, the only other thing I can suggest is to 1. Create a new file with only one person in the file. You can either use the home person in your current file, yourself or some completely unrelated name. You are looking to create a new file which requires at least one individual record, basically a Name and Sex record. It may be easiest to use an unrelated individual who can be easily deleted at a later time. 2. Once you have the new file created, open it. 3. Click File and Merge and select your old file. You want to create a new file which has no problems. You then want to merge everyone from your old file into the new file. 4. If the new file was created using yourself or someone else from your old file, you can let FTM merge the information. If you used an unrelated individual who is not in the old file, you can delete that unrelated individual. 5. Hopefully this will resolve all addressing problems. 6. Try the copy/paste fact feature to see whether it has been resolved. 7. Once you have tested the new file and ensured it is OK, perform a manual backup of the new file. You can then either retain the old file or delete it. Hope this helps.

Greetings, A little over a year ago I posted the email below regarding my FTM software occasionally freezing when I tried to paste a copied fact to another person. I received a number of responses and eventually isolated this problem to copying facts from a few select people. After deleting these people and then re-entering them, the problem appeared to go away. After a bit of a break from genealogy, I began working with my FTM data a few weeks ago. About a week ago I began experiencing the same freezing problem once in a while. After some testing with different people, I find that the problem is the same as the last time - pasting to certain people, regardless of which person from which I copied the fact. I have compacted the file and this has not helped. I am still using FTM 2014 but it is now on a new computer - Windows 8.1 with 8GB RAM. I really don't want to go through deleting people and the re-entering them and all their info as I did the last time. Hoping that someone will have a better solution. Thanks in advance. Bill Mayrose 12/30/2013 Greetings, I am using FTM 2014 (Windows 7; 64-bit). Recently been adding facts (such as residence) to one person and then copying this fact to other family members. When I click on "paste", the program often freezes. I've tried compacting the file and have also uninstalled and then reinstalled FTM. Any thoughts on resolving this problem? Could the 32-bit option help? Thanks for any ideas. Bill

Two small points in addition to Peter's post Firstly Family Tree Maker Mac 3 has been renamed to 'Family Tree Maker 3' (FTM3) This is because Apple does not allow the word 'Mac' in any product name This makes sense as if a product is available in an Apple Store (App Store) it must by definition be 'Mac' You can say FTM3 for Mac but FTM3 should be good enough Bye bye "FTMMx' Secondly, and this has not been announced, the update for FTM3 when it finally gets to the App Store is for MAC OS 10.7 or above The catch 22 is that if you have [say] Mac 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) when you check for the update FTM3 will say that your program is current even although it is still 22.2.3.761 So you cannot install the .781/782 patch You have to update your Mac OS.

I am aware of the SSDI data base being available in several places on-line. Are YOU folks aware that some data has already been removed; for example, the SS# from deaths within last 3 years on most websites, and the Last Residence (which reflects where the benefit was paid, usually)? The cd rom data is frozen in time, albeit now 22 yrs old, but for deaths before 1994 I can at least retrieve all the information that was made available originally. If you have not followed the story, laws are being considered to charge greatly for access to recent SSDI information, not to mention having to be 'certified' to look at it in the first place, and furthermore not all that used to be available will still be so after one is broke and certified. Dick Eastman of "Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter." has published articles and updates on this situation. Sue A

I don't know how to do what you're asking but have you considered searching the SSDI that is on FamilySearch? It's probably more up to date.

Sue, Family Tree Maker Version 11 (very old) and the Family Archives CDs. Is that what you are talking about? Your Family File is in Version 11, and you want to be able to Look at the Data on the FA CD #110. As I recall, that version came with a Manual, you know, a real book. Page 152 is where you what to look. Working with the FamilyFinder Center. The help menu may also help you.
