RootsMagic 4 HOWABOUT

Having an Occupation file similar to the place file? Also a standard print to show all persons with the same occupation etc?

As with places this will then enable the user (me) to ensure a standard description is used for each occupation

I too have been a user of Roots Magic since the Family Origin days. I recently bought Legacy 7.0 and find it extremely user Un-friendly. I will continue to stay with Roots Magic. Thank you for a great product.

Bruce,
Have used your software since you introduced us to Family Origins. I was okay waiting for Version 4 until I started reading your new blog. Now my patience is gone. I need V4 YESTERDAY! So far everything sounds so good! Can’t wait to start using all the new features. Once again I’m sure you’ll go above & beyond to keep all your users informed & using the best Genealogy software on the market EVER!
Thanks for all your hard work!!!
Karen

Bruce,

Welcome to the Inside! Your disguise is genius! Pose as the president and brain of the company! I wish I had thought of that.

Who are Herb and Laura? And what about Naomi? (at the Electric Company!)

Sincerely,

Tim Sullivan.
Would you believe I’m Tim Sullivan? No?
Oh.
Well how about Paul Allen and several other important people from the early days of Ancestry.com? Would you believe that?
No?
How about the assistant janitor at the family history center in Wigglesworth, England?

Bruce, great to see you’ve started a blog! And I appreciate your providing the website links from your commenters. I already found two links of interest – one family web site and one blog! The video is great for those of us still trying to understand all of this new stuff.
Cheers, Jay

I just watched the new “Roots Magic “Insider” video and am a bit confused.
Is there a “paper” such as a word document or something “readable” with Adobe Reader version 9?
On the right side of the main URL “http://blog.rootsmagic.com/”is the new orange icon and four choices – Google, Yahoo, AOL and Newsgator. Will Adobe ever show up here?
I have many “Favorites”, most of which are broken down into folders such as GENEALOGY, HEALTH CARE & FOODS, MONEY, WEATHER, etc.
In the GENEALOGY folder I have Roots Magic and Ancestry.com. “ACDC” already notifies me of surnames in which I have an interest via “My notifications©” Am I confusing this as being equal to what the “orange icon” and it’s four choices are all about?
Finally, should this message actually have been posted to the RM Help Board?
Glenn

Bruce,

Happy to see the blog. I attended your presentation at the Southern CA Jamboree a few days ago and really like what you showed us about RootsMagic Ver. 4. I can’t wait!
