No need to customize anything.<br /><br />I am trying to understand the question.<br /><br />I have a Family Tree Maker Blog, if you want to look over there. I don't think Randy would mind you visiting another blog:<br /><br />ftmuser.blogspot.com<br /><br />I have talked about Templates, Sources and Citations over there.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-73631316677958862302013-06-24T08:29:45.368-07:002013-06-24T08:29:45.368-07:00This touches on an issue I"ve been having wit...This touches on an issue I"ve been having with FTM2012. When you customize a source template, you should be able to save that format for future citations. I'm currently having to customize each instance of a source and it's been getting extremely cumbersome. Hopefully, this is an area of focus for the FTM development team on their next release.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-16086563744967067422011-11-09T16:46:49.243-08:002011-11-09T16:46:49.243-08:00Randy states "Family Tree Maker 2012 did pret...Randy states "Family Tree Maker 2012 did pretty well with this citation ... The differences in the Citation details can be easily modified by the user to match the EE example." I assume this means going into the Reference note tab and manually editing the citation that FTM has created. I have considered doing this and wonder if others do this, and whether it has any consequences when generating reports and the like.Jeff Hodgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-17976222405980001392011-11-09T13:11:35.113-08:002011-11-09T13:11:35.113-08:00Lauren,

I use FTM2012 and have had no issues with seeing my Tree(s) on the mobile devices. Used them several times this past weekend.<br /><br />One thing that I make sure, with both APs is that I see the Downloading take place when I am first opening the AP. I have changed Trees a couple of times to make sure that I see that download.<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-47437875734165740252011-11-09T11:41:43.900-08:002011-11-09T11:41:43.900-08:00Randy, you bring up some really good points about ...Randy, you bring up some really good points about source citations and the differences with the various software programs. I also saw your comments on DearMyrtle's blog posted last month on open source citations at http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/2011/10/open-source-community-model-for.html. I will be ecstatic if the project transpires and lives up to its claims. Like many, I was not the best at citations as a new genealogist many years ago, but to make matters worse, I have switched my primary program several times (Reunion, Legacy, and now use [and love!] RootsMagic. Consequently, I've had to do considerable work on my sources, and it seems to be never ending as I pick up on lines that I haven't focused on recently. <br /><br />On a separate (but related) subject, I'm interested to hear if any of your other readers have had issues with FTM 2012 and their Ancestry.com trees? I purchased FTM 2012 only for the purpose of uploading and maintaining my trees on Ancestry.com, and my tree is heavy on media. Altogether I have about 2500 individuals, but have saved each census as an image an have it linked to the individuals, as well as scanned versions of all other documents I have that related to those individuals. I can view the tree fine on a PC and even on my iPhone. However, my iPad (iOS 5) is unable to display the tree. Either the Ancestry.com app crashes, or it doesn't load the tree, or only loads some of the individuals. I've ininstalled/reinstalled dozens of times, called and emailed Ancestry.com but as yet have not had my problem resolved. Can't imagine I'm the only one with issues, and keep hoping they release an update to the app.<br /><br />Anyway, enjoy your blog...keep up the great work!Lauren Mahieuhttp://www.genejourneys.comnoreply@blogger.com
