I saw one of the most powerful, power users name in a GM note very recently. <g> I have been using TMG since version 1.2, 1995. I don't even use all of the features the program is capable of doing - but, it will do everything I need/want. >I understand that I can keep my 'whole' family in one file, but have >subgroups so that >if I want to exchange info I can export only the subgroup that I >need.

Will TMG solve this problem??? Absolutely! This way you preserve the original spelling found in a piece of evidence, but can have a 'common' spelling for sort purposes. This is one of the features I really appreciate. No one has to be told how many different ways a name can be spelling through time. And you never have to make the decision of which spelling is correct -- since each was 'correct' at the time it was spelled whichever way. <g> >Also, can TMG print out charts on one page??? Or at least let you preview to >fit the screen so that you have some idea of what is being printed. It would depend upon the chart -- there is a variety of charts and reports TMG will make for you - but, you can print preview. >Thank you to All TMG users If you have not joined the TMG users list, you might like to do that. Introduce yourself and ask all of the questions you have. Remember too, if for any reason, you don't find TMG to be the program for you, return the program (90 days, I think it is) and they will refund your money .
