    1. Re: [LDS-WC] Printing names in NFS

    3. To those with trouble printing a list in nFS: I also have the blue error message when preparing a list to print for the temple in nFS. I've affectionately named it Sproink. I've noticed a few things. -If I can get partway through nFS, I save the list before it gets to 50. Usually 20 or so is a safe number. Every time I try for the max, it sproinks. But I can go into the "saved lists" area and print what I saved from there. Sometimes it sproinks just as I try to print, you see. -Go into Family Tree at familysearchlabs.org and bring up the temple list. They just done some more work on that area. Sort it a couple of times on the Ordinance column, etc. I've yet to figure out just how it re-orders ordinances as it sorts, but after I tried it, the names I wanted were closer to the front and I didn't have to go so far when I went back to nFS. They operate off the same data. -Notice the names as you go. If it sproinks on the same name, go back into nFS and see if something needs to be addressed like merging or even unmerging. Differences between how nFS and FT operate: -In nFS I can assign the names to the temple and still go back in and steal one if it doesn't get processed for awhile. Can't do that in FT; assign a name to the Temple there and it's all she wrote. -In FT I would like it to sort by particular ordinances, but it doesn't appear to yet. If I want a listing of available initiatories, I'd like to find it quickly. -In FT it appears that a couple have been selected twice. Don't know how that happened. Any way to de-select yet? Otherwise the duplicated names are submissions for different ordinances (baptism, endowment, sealing to parents, sealing to spouse) and no reason for panic. -In FT the submission date is listed, as is the code. That is useful. Not all functions are working completely in FT yet. I understand that they are working on lessons and helps for it. It's like it should bear the tee shirt message about "Be patient. God isn't finished with me yet." I personally will have a tough adjustment when it's required. It took me awhile to get used to nFS, but now I love the dear old thing, sproinks and all.
