Greetings It may be worth asking RM in US what the difference is and who wrote the 'UK version'. (( I would have thought that Bruce or the webmaster would have commented by now - or perhaps I am not getting any of this thread of emails I will have to check if put in junk or spam folder. )) Just for the record I can do all those bullet point things * but see %%% and $$$ ref spelling. Perhaps someone can help me on that. In the version I bought from US You can set dates in any format you want so our way is an option - I use it (Tools prog options general) %%% There is an English dictionary ( where ? I know it exists . I wonder if I did not select when installing ? Is it the .adm file. can I access it from RM6 now ? ) . and you can set up your own dictionary as well. $$$ I must admit I have just done a spell check and it did not recognise programme or colour (you can add in yourself as OK ) It underlines things it does not recognise as you type in if you set as (Tools prog options general) I do not know what is meant by UK sources. You add sources yourself. eg 1841 census or birth cert etc. and can also select from a list when you add new and if UK slightly different, then they are available eg census UK. is available in my (US) version as a source BUT I make my own as well. It is easy. It is easy to go to any web site without going through RM and some UK are included also in RM. You do what you want to do in any case. Ancestry and fmp and WVR give same results wherever you live .co and .com are basically the same. I use either. When you click websearch in RM you can select a source from list or put own in. You will get a result or many results but not see details. eg I just clicked on web search for my grandfather and selected Ancestry click on Census and narrow in to UK 1911 and I get his name and birth year and residence (and many more similar) BUT unless you are subscriber you cannot see the original. (If you subscribe (as I do to all 3 ) The only difference is that you pay more to include US censuses etc in the world subscription (but you can get a lot free also)) Support from US via RMlist or contact direct Therefore works OK in UK (except spell ?)
