How can I tell if the upgrade took? The pop-up box still reads 4.0

Thanks for the fixes, especially the help with broken links in Media Gallery, the fact that the media view now stays maximised if that was the last view and displays the media fitted to screen and also that little suggestive addition alongside Place Details that didn’t get a mention.

Jeanne,

Here are a couple of options for now…

1. If you have the CD, there is a 30 minute getting started tutorial on it. We will be putting up free online tutorials on specific subjects in the coming months.
2. If you press the F1 key in RootsMagic it will bring up a full searchable help system with table of contents, index, etc.
3. I am wrapping up the RM4 book (still probably a couple of months off as editing / proofing / etc and printing are done)

- Bruce

twylyte,

We are working as fast as possible to get Family Atlas (and Personal Historian) imports in for RM4. RM4 was a total rewrite and uses a completely different database engine so the imports are having to be completely rewritten. The date structure is also completely different and has to be handled. One of our programmers has these imports as his number 1 priority right now.

Peg, You should download to your desktop and then run RM-To-Go. It will detect that you have a newer version on the desktop and let you install it onto the flash drive.

I wish you would add a feature that would allow for the adding of a .pdf or word document when publishing a book rather than merely allowing for a text document. This feature would make Roots Magic Publisher perfect.
