Ron,I'm unable to recreate the problem you're experiencing. I do notice, however, that when I click on the name (or the edit search button), when it overlays the search window, the rest of the screen...

I do something similar as Marco said. I have Chinese character sets enabled on my PC. I use it to keep my Chinese ancestor's name in the 'alternative name' field. I use PingYing for the 'primary name'...

When you say, "I have a tree on shared disk between two PCs," WHERE is the disk? In one of the two computers? How does the other on access the file? On a Network Attached Storage device which both...

It all comes down to how frequently you write things in other languages. In FTM you can probably get by using ALT key codes with *Latin* alphabets, but it's highly inefficient for basic word...

I have the international MS Office installed, and I use that in Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. For FTM/Ancestry.com and a quick email, the ALT+3 is quick and easy, and I remember most of them, after all...

That's strange. I can only think that you are not following my instructions or I have left something out of my instructions?? Can anyone see a flaw in my instructions?This is a small example of what I...

I think the difference in what you did and what I tried to do is that I wanted two fields. Person ID and Name. You did not attempt to export those two to Excel, with 1 line per person. I appreciate the...

Adding person ID is no problem. See below. Again, this Message board doesn't keep the column boundaries, but you can visualize what they are in Excel. Person ID has its own column right next to name....

OK, then I'm making a mistake (I'd rather that than find out I just can't get it done with FTM). In your example, did you use a custom report to get the person id? You must have. I'll try using the...

I owe you a big thank you for persisting and helping me. For some reason, this doesn't work when you pick Person ID as the first (main sort) field in the custom report and then export to CSV. If the...
