Patt, Don't open Page Setup first. Select print first. Select the printer you wish to use. Select Properties. On the paper tab, select the paper tab. On the Paper Options tab and on the Advanced Tab of the Paper Options tab, select what you want. Close everything and run a print as a test. Does this work?

Good morning Terry, I would print as a PDF and keep it as an exhibit.

Hi, Terry, If you can't cut/paste, then why not use Irfanview to make an image of the screen and save each message as a jpg? (If the message fills more than one screen, of course, you'll have to adjust accordingly). Also, if you can use Firefox as your browser, can't you also just click on "save page as" (upper left-hand corner of screen: File>Save page as)? I do that all the time with Findagrave and other webpages I want to save. (This Edge thing with Windows10 apparently has a print to pdf option though). Others have given good advice too, so you have several options to choose from. I would not delete the emails either.

Terry, My jaw dropped when you said you have 7,000 Emails. Yikes! I thought my mere 500 were troubling enough. It's been a while since I have tried to forward, copy, or move the Emails to my PC. When I was unable to do so, I made subfolders within AOL, but I really would like the ability to move them out. I will research this issue again and see if AOL has since made changes to allow that. I'll be pondering the issue about keeping or deleting them for a while, but before I act on that, I will definitely begin to copy and paste the Emails into the Source itself in TMG. If I have a question about the citation, I can simply go back and refer to the source where the actual Email is entered. Great ideas suggested! I appreciate all your replies. Thanks!

Recently, my hard disk crashed and in the rebuilding process I reinstalled TMG v9.05 using "Run as Administrator". I'm using Win7 on a 64 bit computer. I also ran the TMG 9.05 installer an additional time using the repair option. While attempting to unlock the full version, I type in my first name and TMG attempts to open Files of type: Tables/DBF (*.dbf) When I successively hit CANCEL I receive the message: Alias REPEAT is not found. When I select "Ignore" I receive the message:Variable REP_VALUE is not found. What's going on?

Thank you Linda, Richard, and Ron. I LOVE your suggestions and didn't even think about cutting and pasting the Email into the source comments field. It doesn't matter that I won't be able to print it out. It's a terrific solution and I'm excited to start doing it. I also didn't think about putting them all on a memory stick. That way they're just out of my Email Inbox and it is so easy to store. This is why I love this group! Thank you again. Terry, your Email said that there was no content. It was blank. Did it come that way to everyone else or was there something wrong on my end? Terry

Hi Terry, For what it's worth here is what I do about my emails which are used as sources. In the Email Source Citation field I place a full copy of each email in the Supplemental Tab. Usually what I do is from the original message I "momentarily" FORWARD it, (do not send) copy all the pertinent data, i.e., From, To, Date, Subject, Body etc., etc. I then copy this to that Supplemental Tab. I then cancel my "FORWARD" message, as I don't really need it. If there are large attachments/exhibits to the message I then print them out and place them in a filing cabinet referencing them to the Source Numbers in TMG. This works fine for me and I have been doing this for years. The only problem with this is as far as I know there are no ways to have them printed out in any reports. If I do need to see the original messages I got to my backups. Secondly I do use an email backup program for all my emails (going back to 1988) on a USB drive as well as in cloud programs. Hope this might give you some ideas, Cheers, Ron Chénier http://chesnay.homestead.com/ -----Original Message----- From: tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Terry Phelan via Sent: August 20, 2015 7:50 PM To: tmg@rootsweb.com Subject: [TMG] Organizing and Editing Sources.

In most cases, the Email is the ONLY source for this information. A lot of these Emails are extremely detailed and some have recounted family stories about ancestors. I've documented it all, but now want to delete (gasp) the Email. I feel so guilty in even thinking about deleting any. But, I definitely am suffering from information overload and would like to organize my stuff and pare down. If I have too much, my nieces and nephew might just chuck all the paperwork or delete all the Emails anyway without examining when I'm gone. If there is less paperwork, maybe there would be a better chance of them actually keeping the vital stuff. Terry

I would certainly want to retain them in the situation you describe.

Although I don't use AOL it's my understanding that Gmail can collect past emails from the AOL archive.

Date range dates are "from-to" dates, "between" dates, and "date or date" dates." The issue is that Find and Replace can't convert date ranges back to regular dates, so if you were just changing the date, rather than removing it, it wouldn't be able to change the date and restore it to a "regular" date. For that reason, Find and Replace ignores date fields that contain date ranges. John

Kathryn, I cannot explain why 7 were skipped. The "between" shouldn't matter, "^.*$" matches all characters except newlines. Probably not worth worrying about. John

Kathryn, Set the options like this: Options: Field: Name Date (All) Find what: ^.*$ Replace with: In Names: Name-Marr Contents must match Find What exactly: Unchecked Use Pattern Matching: Checked Match case: Unchecked Find Whole Word Only: <na> Convert to Regular Date: Checked Copy to Sort Date: Checked The main change is the "Find what" pattern. ^ = match start of field . = match any character * = repeat "match any character" as many times as possible $ = match end of field Combined, that pattern selects the entire contents of the field.
