    1. [TMG] accents
    2. Kay & John Sturgeon OAM via (Bill)
    3. I have 3 projects in my program. One is the main, the other two are names in common. I only have accents set up in my main, the others are default. I rarely update the names in common projects, but when I do and return to my main project, it then has the default ones. I load my saved accents see the writing on the bottom left hand side reflecting this, but always have to reset up i.e. add my ancestor flagged colours and move them to the top of the list. I resave my accent file. All is good till the next time I change projects. Is there something I am missing. Kay

    1. [TMG] Pedigree Report to PDG--get: Printer not activated, error code - 30
    2. John B. Windham via
    3. TMG ver. 9.05 Windows 10 When I try to print a report (it seems any report..i.e. Pedigree, journal, etc), to .PDF..I get: "Printer not activated, error, code - 30" When I try to print a report to .DOC, I get: "conversion error #14: could not create destination file" Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve this problem? I was having no problems with creating a report to file before I recently upgraded to Windows 10. My printer seems to work just fine outside of TMG. Thanks, John B. Windham Metairie, Louisiana

However, one reunion was able to find a wall for a 20 ft chart (and could have been much longer). But this is rare. The length of walls in a venue may be long, but very often they are broken up by openings, emergency exits, decorative columns, or other obstacles to mounting a chart. I had one that was about 75 ft long, but at about 30 ft there was a set of stairs down about 3 ft to a lower level. Would made it hard to see the middle of a chart much less the top. <g> Lee

    1. Re: [TMG] Chart printing
    2. robin lamacraft via
    3. Hi Rick, 4 things to observe: 1) In some situations, the setting of the PDF995 as the default printer is not enough. You may not get access to changing the Postscript Custom Page Size, so when making that change also change the Default Document size to your desired individual page size. 2) Some plotters cannot print without a gap between pages (some HP models as an example). 3) When VCF creates separate pages, there is a bug that trims out about 3 pixel horizontal content from page to page, so when printed adjacent (continuous output) then any box or image that spans into both the left and right pages has these 3 pixel widths lost, making problem with missing parts of characters or in the image. This appears to occur also for boxes that are produced as two or more horizontal sheets. (not an issue in your case. 4) Explore the advanced section of http://tmg.reigelridge.com/Robin.htm <http://tmg.reigelridge.com/Robin.htm>to get rid of excessive gaps in charts. Lastly - have you thought about displaying such a long chart? Invariably finding a display space is difficult. Most charts over about 6m very quickly get torn. I hope that this helps, Robin On 9/10/2015 4:20 AM, Rick Van Dusen via wrote: > I've made two attempts to start a new thread with this but it never > posts (also doesn't send me an error message).

    1. Re: [TMG] Chart printing
    2. Rick Van Dusen via
    3. Thanks, Robin. 1) Note that I did not use the PDF printer option within TMG/VCF, but used CutePDF. I found that with both PDFCreator and CutePDF, if I tried to set to that printer from within VCF, the settings would not "take". (The settings dialogs would look right, but the results would not. Generally, it would print to the PDF but with Letter paper instead of the plotter-friendly settings.) It was necessary, as I explained, to make the settings in Windows first, then create the chart, then make the settings again in VCF. (I switched from PDFCreator because I couldn't get it to reach the 200-inch/5m length. I don't recall what was involved in that; that was in 2012.) 2, 3) Good points. I don't know first-hand anything about these issues; I didn't see the actual test printout, but I was told it worked okay. (I also don't know what kind of plotter it was.) I would much prefer to create a "one-page" print, but I'm not aware of any way to do that except to have the actual plotter installed on the machine and print directly from VCF. (We got hopelessly mired down with this in 2012.) 4, "Lastly") As I noted, I limited my "expertise" (lol) to the printing process. I've done nearly no work with VCF and have a LOT to learn about trimming the charts. Before I got him converted to TMG, my cousin had produced box charts in Excel (!?!?!?), and my meager efforts with VCF so far have gotten the results down to within TWICE the width of the Excel charts! As a result, we didn't use printed charts at the recent reunion; he showed the PDF charts projected from his computer. (Cost of the printing would have been outrageous, on top of the wall space issue.) The real advantage of printed charts at a reunion is that people can find themselves and their lines and can write corrections and additions. In three more years, maybe we'll be able to figure out VCF and get better results. In the meantime, at least we solved the printing problem.

    3. Thank you Robin and Lee for your helpfulness and knowledge. I think I’ve got it now. It was all those Frowny Faces because of where the Images were - not linking. Also my Report Definitions Options. So now I have a Folder with sub-folders which I put my Images into and I’ve added and specified that Folder (and sub-folders) in the Location Window List of Folders to search. The sub-folders make it easier for me to keep track of the separate families so I’m hoping TMG will find them. It IS complicated. Mary Jo

    3. Hi Mary Jo, When you go the Exhibit Log and select the right type (Person or Event) do the images come up there? What are the extensions of the image files that you cannot see? jpg or something else?

The question is whether the Exhibits in the Exhibit folder are properly linked to the person or event. Have you tried the Verify File Integrity function under File=>Maintenance? Be sure to select the Specify the folders to search... option and add the Exhiibits folder in the List of folders for location window. Assuming the Exhibits are properly linked, what options are selected in the Report Definitions [Options] Exhibit tab? Most likely you will have selected Embedded. You also should select Include external images and Copy to destination folder. If the Exhibits are attached to event Tags, you will also want the Include event exhibits option (and maybe Include each occurrence. And, if you want all Exhibits, be sure to also select the All images option. Lee

    1. [TMG] Exhibits in Journal Report
    2. Mary Jo Gatti via
    3. Hi, I have a problem with my Exhibits printing when I create a Journal Report. I went to FILE > Preferences - Current Project Options - Exhibit Folder C:\Users\First Last\Documents\The Master Genealogist v9\Exhibits\ My exhibits are in there but they don’t print when I choose Report Destination - File Type MS Word. Is my only option to manually insert each image into the Word DOC before I Save As a PDF file or is there an easier way to get them ready to print with my Journal Report? I’ll appreciate any help, Mary Jo

OS? - mine is Win 7 Pro 64-bit Might be it, Tony. The OS I tested is Win XP Pro SP2 (32-bit). I will add a note to the bug report of possible variations in the maximum character limit. Michael
