I no longer have a sample project but I do not use it very but would be good if I can restore it easily. I was going to at...

Re: 2 copies of the same project

Unfortunatly your first assumption is not correct see attached screen shot which I meant to send previously but this is the prefered folder. I understand the logic in what you are suggesting but perhaps we ought to know why This PC is showing One Drive in its path. You say I have altered default sta...

Whilst going from one to another the path has changed and the copy I now get from my short cut on my desktop is the copy that is in One Drive and as you will see both copies still have the same path but with one drive included. I can...

given names only recorded

In the individual records I have a large number of single given names mostly of female spouses it would be helpful if they appeared on the list alphabetically near their partner. Is there anyway they can be entered which will attain this making it obvious that the surname is not their maiden name? I...
