I use MS Word 2010 and have a complete display from the same RTF that Betty gets only the first line. That RTF was generated from her database on my computer from RM 5.0.4.1. There are anomalies between RM Preview and what MS Word displays but no loss of data; my issues are the table format goes a bit wonky and portraits get cut off. Some enthusiasm has been shown here for LibreOffice Writer as an alternative. I reaffirm that it is not. Indexes and hyperlinks from superscripts to end notes are screwed up. There are also some table formatting issues - I haven't tested more than one FGS with no photo so there may be other issues with it.

SO, if you have problems with Word, what version of Word is it? Likewise, if you are posting that you have no problems with FGS displays, the name of the software and the Version. It isn't really RootsMagic's fault if Microsoft decided to "improve" things again. Alfred ============= P Summers-Smith wrote: > It seems to generate and open the RTF file fine for me.
