I like Ancestral Quest because I want to continue to use PAF. I think the syncing in Rootmagic is a little easier to do than the AQ process, but I like the fact that I can make changes in AQ and then open my file in PAF (without having to make a GEDCOM), and there are the changes. I did not want to have to learn another program, and since AQ is so similar to PAF, it was an easy transition. I have been using AQ for about 6 months, and I am pleased with all the syncing the program can do. You can compare, combine duplications, then sync; in another process, review the person to get parents and spouses' sealings, go to nFS from AQ to view the file in NFS (with proper sign-in), and add end of line people from nFS to the last person in your AQ/PAF. Another feature I like in AQ is that I like to put the typed opening of a census record into my notes. If I copy and paste it into PAF, I get all the URL's for each person and a lot of extra garbage. If I cut and paste into AQ, the record is clean. A future feature I would like to see is the sealing to parents and spouse coming up on the initial syncing screen. As my husband Jack said in an earlier e-mail, he likes Rootsmagic, but now he is going to store his record in RM and probably leave PAF behind. As for me, AQ is doing a fantastic job for my needs, and I like to go back to PAF to do some features that I am more familiar with than I am with AQ. The changes are automatically made in AQ.

In a previous message that I wrote on understanding NFS someone suggested I do a print preview before I printed out the FOR, if I understood right. I don't see an option to do a print preview. I just printed out a FOR so I will run to the temple and see what the cards look like. Our youth are going to the temple tomorrow night. Thanks Nancy
