That worked, sort of. I no longer get the "file folder not found" message, but some link must have been broken somewhere along the way because none of my exhibits are exhibiting. It looks like I will have to go back and relink all of them. Tedious, but not all that bad. I only have about 100.

No, and it is not recommended. Exhibit files are generally of a large size and since they are rarely changed in any way, it is better to leave them as external. Because of their large size, internal Exhibits tend to greatly increase TMG backups. It is much easier to manipulate and backup external Exhibits outside of TMG. In addition, if you use Second Site, any Exhibits to be included in a site need to be external Exhibits. Lee

To change the location of already created exhibits, you use the check file integrity function and give it the new location of where your exhibits are now stored. To get around this problem, I store all by exhibits in folders like C:\genealogy\exhibits that way it isn’t tied to my user name (or where this version of windows wants to place my user files). > On Apr 2, 2018, at 4:05 PM, Robert Thorpe <[email protected]> wrote: > > Some time ago I relocated my project to a new computer.

No, no, no, no. If you were to move the exhibits from external to internal you would be making more trouble. Exhibits may be anywhere. I keep them on the same drive as I store my TMG projects. You tell TMG where to find files by going to File, Preferences, Advanced, Exhibit Folder. Give it a try.

Some time ago I relocated my project to a new computer. It had some external exhibits that were located in the standard location on the old computer. The new computer had a different name for the main user. The old main user was "Butch", the new main user was "Robert". There is no "Butch" user on the new computer so TMG always says it can't find the exhibits. I have an intact copy of the files in the "Butch" exhibit folder and have copied them all to the "Robert" exhibit folder. What I can't figure out is how to tell TMG the new exhibits location. Any help appreciated. An alternative might be to change them all to internal exhibits. Is there a way I can automate THAT process? Thanks Robert Thorpe

That's the same as my Win 10, with the two Microsoft printers being assigned to port PORTPROMPT. So that suggestion doesn't help. Any chance that when you look at the printers listed in Control Panel > Devices and Printers you see more than one instance of Microsoft Print to PDF? I see that on my system, although with a different (hardware, not PDF) printer that apparently was installed twice. The second instance has the same name followed by "Copy 1." If you had two instances there could be different port assignments for the two cases. Barring that, I see on the web that some people have solved Win 10 Microsoft Print to PDF issues by reinstalling the printer. Instructions for doing that are on a Microsoft Community website at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/how-to-add-or-reinstall-the-microsoft-pdf-printer/70377c34-e50a-42be-b9f3-92345d6e25df. Note that one of the comments you will find by scrolling down on this website says that the instructions (which show the new printer being assigned to Port LPT1) are in error, and it should actually be assigned to PORTPROMPT as we have been discussing. I have not tried removing or installing Microsoft Print to PDF, so I can't say if there are any new problems the procedure might introduce. If I were doing it I would install it as Copy 1 and see if it solves the problem. If both the original and Copy 1 are installed both should be listed on the list of printers that comes up on any application's Print command. If Copy 1 works better than the original you could then remove the original, or if not, remove Copy 1.

Jack, I don't have TMG on my Windows 10 machine, so I can't replicate this, but here's something to check. On any Windows 10 applications I have tried, a command to Print using the Microsoft Print to PDF choice brings up a dialog box which shows the PDF file will be stored in the Documents folder and allows a file name to be specified. The folder where the file is stored can be changed in that dialog box. If you are not seeing this use Windows Control Panel to check the printer port assignment. Specifically: 1) In the Control Panel select Devices and Printers, then right click on Microsoft Print to PDF. 2) Choose Printer Properties and select the Ports tab. 3) In the resulting list see which box is checked for Microsoft Print to PDF. You may need to hover the cursor over the printer name to expose the full name or names. 4) If port "PORTPROMPT" is checked, your system is the same as mine and I have no further suggestion. But if not, try the following steps. 5) Cancel out and repeat steps 1 and 2 but this time click the button to Change Properties and supply the needed administrator password. 6) Go again to the Ports tab and put a check in the box on the PORTPROMPT line. This should add Microsoft Print to PDF to any printer that's already using that port. 7) Uncheck any other items in the list, then click OK to accept the new port assignment and see if that fixes the problem.

Dennis, The Save to file type is RTF. The file name is the path specified in preferences. The printer selected is MS PDF. Report Destination is Printer. The report is sent to C:\ProgarmData\The Master Genealogist v9\Buttons. If I change the report destination to save the file, it generates the report and puts it where I expect it to go, as specified by Save to.

Due to hardware problems, I have had to build a new computer. On which I had Windows 10 installed. I have successfully installed TMGv9.05 and it appears to be working correctly. Following the instructions provided by Dennis Lee Bieber, I successfully installed the Microsoft PDF printer. I then attempted to generate an Individual Narrative preview report for one person, with the output directed to the printer. The selected printer is "Miscrosoft Print to PDF". TMG generated the report, but instead of sending the output to the printer, the program is attempting to save the report as a file in "C:\ProgramData\The Master Genealogist v9\Buttons". In Preferences, I have the report output directed to "C:\Genealogy\TMGv9\Report_output\". Yesterday I created a custom toolbar. In the process, I did select some pictures from "C:\ProgramData\The Master Genealogist v9\Buttons". The report is being generated from the Menu. If I generate the report from the button on the Report Toolbar, the output goes to a file as above. When I look at the generated report, it appears to be a normal Individual Narrative report. Does anyone have any ideas about what is happening? -- Jack D. Lovelace

Don - I had really good luck creating a book with TMG journal report (customized to suit me) and embedding photos, maps, etc. However I just continued to send the file to my old Word (student '07), then reopened in Word 2016 because Lulu would not accept the old version of Word. Of course, I didn't add the photos, etc., until the file was migrated to the 2016 version. Good luck - Sally On Sat, Mar 24, 2018 at 1:07 PM, Donald E.

Thanks Marion, Lee, and Terry for responses to my message about TMG and creating a book. Obviously, I was trying something that was not to be. I have run my reports separately and have not had any problems – like I had been doing. Have opened them in Word 2016. Am very much encouraged. Have to learn new computer, Win 10 (new) and new Word 2016. Will happen. Thanks. Don

Another example is given by Bettinger & Wayne in "Genetic Genealogy in Practice" (p.68) where parent had four children with the following percentages which is a clearer picture of how averages play out: Child P-GF P-GM M-GF M-GM Average April 21.2 28.8 23.4 26.6 25.0 Hiram 20.5 29.5 28.6 21.4 25.0 Corey 30.1 19.9 24.6 25.4 25.0 Samatha 25.5 24.5 18.9 31.1 25.0 Looking at this and considering that we get an average of 12.5% from each great-grandparent, one might conjecture that the small amount that Samantha got from her maternal grandfather _could_ be almost all from just one of her maternal grandfather's parents. Lee

One small clarification to that. From our parents, we get EXACTLY 50% from each in normal cases (adjusted by males getting a Y chromosome from dad and a X from mom), as for each of the 23 chromosome we get one side from each parent. This doesn't mean that we get 50% of the tested markers from each side though, so a test might not say exactly 50% from each. Also, due to the gene shuffling at  the creation of the egg and sperm, the chromosomes we get from each parent don't match the exact chromosome they had but is a mixture of the genetics THEY got from their parents. When going back farther generations, yes, randomness kicks in and the fact that you got exactly 50% from your mother, and she got 50% from each of her parents, doesn't imply that you get exactly 25% from each of them. Because of the gene shuffling, I would say that the odds of having ZERO DNA from a person 4 or 5 generations back is actually very remote. But, not having any identifiable DNA from them is quite possible.

Anyone who believes Ancestry or other DNA company ads about ethnicity should read these two articles at least https://dna-explained.com/2016/02/10/ethnicity-testing-a-conundrum/ https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/mar/18/genetic-study-30-percent-white-british-dna-german-ancestry I recommend that before a person gets into DNA testing, they should read the book "The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy" by Blaine T. Bettinger. Despite the name, it covers the 3 major companies equally. I recommend you read it if you have already tested too. Although we get 50% of our DNA from each parent, 25% from each grandparent is just an AVERAGE. One real life example where a grandchild and all 4 grandparents were tested produced these results. Paternal grandfather 27.7% Paternal grandmother 26.3% Maternal grandfather 17.7% Maternal grandmother 32.3% This is due to the RANDOMNESS of DNA inheritance. And that randomness is the reason why, after 4 or 5 generations, you have ancestors from whom you received no DNA at all. As you go further and further back you have more and more ancestors from whom you received no DNA at all.

Eudora shows the entire URL (even over two lines) as one URL while the copy without the < > does not highlight the second line. Something else to eventually report to the developer of Pandora (I recently reported the thread breakage from lack of References: on replies, and was told that my message was the vote that would move that into development for the next update -- also need to report that the default signature for personalities is not being applied, and I have to manually select them). -- [email protected] Dennis Lee Bieber HTTP://home.earthlink.net/~bieber.genealogy/

Windows 10 includes its own PDF printer (though one might have to use Control Panel/Programs/Turn Windows Features On or Off, to activate "Microsoft Print to PDF"). Then, on the report definition screen, select * Printer Open [Properties], select * Selected and find "Microsoft Print to PDF" in the drop-down list. {Hmmm, though it looks like I need to do some repair work on my install -- getting the "class not recognized" error for anything going directly to any printer... But generating RTF works, and Word can then use the PDF printer Solved -- the infamous Amyuni PDF DLL problem; even though I've never had that work since TMG 6 or so; had to manually register it, to enable regular printers to work}. -- [email protected] Dennis Lee Bieber HTTP://home.earthlink.net/~bieber.genealogy/

Thanks for the suggestion Dennis. I'll keep that in mind for future long URLs.
