Probably the easiest to do is to make a new blank database using RM. Then import the PAF file directly into it (gedcom not necessary, but gedcom works). Then open both RM databases side by side. Click on Window on the top toolbar. Then with the 2 screens side by side, you can drag and drop the missing info from the PAF sourced one to your main database. No retyping of data. It is wise to check the imported information to see that it is set up the way you are using in RM in case there is a difference in format or you have changed the way you enter data. If you are using Windows 7, you use a snap (?) screen. I just click on and hold one screen and drag it all the way to the left. Then click on and drag the other screen all the way to the right. They will bounce back to the middle and appear side by side. Or some folks use 2 monitors. I tried that once but was not comfortable with it.

I believe that it is possible to reduce the size of the screen so that I can see two programmes at the same time. I would like to be able to have a PAF file open and at the same time to view my Rootsmagic screen. Is this really possible please or did I dream it?   I find that I have some individuals in a PAF file which are missing from Rootsmagic and I need to copy them into Rootsmagic. Would anyone be able to advise me of a simple way of doing this or will I have to enter the details of each one individually into Rootsmagic?   Many thanks, Maureen =================================== RM list Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ROOTSMAGIC-USERS/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=ROOTSMAGIC-USERS WISH LIST: http://www.rootsmagic.com/forums/ BLOG: http://blog.rootsmagic.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTSMAGIC-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
