The ONLY program that will almost correctly handle the RTF files saved from RootsMagic is Microsoft Word (unsure what the oldest version is that does), NOT WordPad, NOT WordPerfect, NOT Open Office's equivalent, and not likely Libre Office's equivalent. To cause the saved RTF file to automatically open in MS Word and not something else, you need to set the File Association for RTF to Always Open with MS Word. In Windows Explorer, find any RTF file, right click on it, select Open With and check the box once you select MS Word.

I'm considering getting an ASUS tablet. I believe it runs on the Android O/S. There are genealogy apps that would run on it, but I would rather stick to RootsMagic if possible. Did someone say that there might be a RM app for the Android tablet coming in the future? Thank you, Brenda

I have run mine 3 different ways and the header drops off. I do get the birth date. Why the change I don't know? Jon ***

WordPad does not do a very good job of displaying RTF documents. Microsoft Word seems to have been the originator of RTF so it is probably the best at displaying an RTF document. I have an old copy of WordPad, I think that it came with Windows 98, it does a much better job of displaying RTF Family Group Sheet than any of the more recent versions, but it still won't do a decent job, the pictures are left out and the longer text lines sometimes cross into the next column. Alfred

I might try converting the pdf to text. An early version of Family Origins allowed me to print to text. And I think I exported to PAF and got good results but that was a long time ago. I use the individual report for the head of the household and that does fairly well to make a text file. Other times, the pdf works well but has to be an attachment. I do still have Microsoft Works on my computer. I have Word Perfect 5 and Microsoft Word 2007. There should be a check box somewhere to be able to do an "open with." I'm also having a problem that I didn't have before that leaves out the birthdate on some places.

Have not read if anyone answered this question, if you have MS Word or WordPerfect it should go directly to that software. If you do not have the software, save it, and bring it up in OpenOffice /Word pad or ..... by the new name and look at it there. -----Original Message----- From: rootsmagic-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:rootsmagic-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Betty Stokes Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2012 9:57 AM To: rootsmagic-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [RMagic] Family Group Sheet I always get the latest version as soon as it comes out.

Just to add for information -- the RTF with one page and only one line that I saved to my desktop says it has 58.9 kb.

Betty - I have the same problem you have. PDF works just fine, but RTF opening in Wordpad only shows the first line. I have tried the suggestion to uncheck the view option, but still only get the first line. I saved the RTF file to my desktop and tried the "open with" Microsoft Works Word processing and it tells me I do not have enough memory to open that one page. It says to close all other programs, which I did - I even restarted my computer and it still told me I do not have enough memory. I have Windows7 - 64 bit, with 310 GB space available and 7.89 GB ram available. If you find the problem, please let me know, too. I cannot find any place to change any other options for viewing this report. Thanks, Joy On 10/4/2012 3:53 PM, Betty Stokes wrote: > That is what I think.
