Do you sync your file between FTM and your "twin" file in ancestry.com? If so, I take it your original entry is to FTM, then you sync? Then, after that perhaps the source duplicates itself with every...

If it only merges one fact and it and the citation are wrong, I would do it anyway.Then, fix them (ie edit them, change dates or whatever).Then, do the steps I gave above.

It's an issue that gets no attention. Arguably it has improved since the last update. Before that crashes were every 10 minutes if, as suggested, you were doing a lot of merging. A crash just means the...

Windows 7 use more RAM than earlier versions. 8 may have similar issues. I've been able to crash FTM 2012 in a 1 person file creating a "Smart" Story with lots of images.Regards,
