Say you Feature Suggestions http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=62#post-217 Sat, 19 May 2007 02:06:08 GMT sjm1010 217@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Hi Louis,<br><br>I was wondering if it was possible to change the way sentence or paragraph structures are presented in Beholds Everything Report, the current structure that appears under the "NOTE" tag? <br><br>If you look at each individuals "NOTE" section you will see that the first three to four lines line up under the letter "e" in the word (Note). Every sentence that follows these first few lines are now indented up to three letters. There are also no paragraph breaks in the notes section itself, even though my original notes have them. <br><br>This makes the notes appear as if their just one big paragraph, troublesome to read clearly. Is this Beholds way or is it Legacy?<br><br>My suggestion is, if possible, that every sentence "under" the "Note" heading should line up under the letter "e" after the initial sentence, cleaner look. My second suggestion would be paragraph breaks in the "Note" section. <br><br>If you understand what I just wrote.....your a better man than me!! Thank you.<br><br>Stephen<br><br> Feature Suggestions http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=31#post-101 Mon, 08 Aug 2005 22:39:36 GMT sjm1010 101@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Lou,<br><br>What about the ability to load two separate GED files at once for a side by side comparison, this would allow the program to compare and search out duplicate files or for the user to manually edit and remove files from either GED. When you complete the editing you can merge the new file with your master or just save it as a separate file. I suppose this would be a great way to merge one or more files that contain your family rather than performing a merge for each individual GED that you come across.

You can look it up on site, but you can't download it. I have had to mark, copy, and save it, then include it in my PAF5 Source citation manually.<br><br>Is there anyway that Behold could do that and include it in the .bho file? I mean, after you get the other LDS related improvements done.<br><br>Max Haiflich, Jr. Feature Suggestions http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=37#post-127 Tue, 25 Oct 2005 21:21:30 GMT larrycada 127@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Dear Louis,<br>All my forebears and many of my relatives are Czech. I would like to enter their names and their places in Czech with the correct diacritic marks or accents on the letters. I decided not to use Family Tree Maker, becuse it only supports the Latin-1 character set for data entry. (That's enough for French, German, and Spanish; but not for Czech.) I switched to PAF, which supports all special characters needed for data entry of Czech names of people and places.<br>Will this someday be possible with Behold? (Or is it already possible with the alpha version I have now downloaded?) When I made a GEDCOM file and exported it from PAF to Behold, it displayed strange letters and symbols where ever there was a letter with a Czech diacritic mark in the original PAF file.<br>While I am writing, let me add a few words of praise, Louis, for the Behold program. For many years, I consulted your webpage on genealogy software and found it very helpful. When I found out that you were developing your own program, I decided to give it a try. I have to say that I am very pleased with what I have been able to do with it so far. Many thanks for devoting your computer know-how and your genealogy know-how to this project.<br>I will look forward to whatever help you can give me with the Czech diacritics. Let me know if you need more information from me in order to give an answer.<br>Sincerely, Larry Cada Feature Suggestions http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=38#post-131 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 20:58:45 GMT lkessler 131@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Currently, Behold displays information for people, marriages, places and sources in one font without any highlighting or color. I plan to add options in Version 1.1 to allow you to set your preferred format for names, events and other parts of this information.<br><br>But what I haven't settled on yet is what the default should be. I've had two suggestions: (1) That Names be made bold, and (2) That Events be made bold.<br><br>What do you think would look best? Names bold? Events bold? Both of them bold? Maybe some other format or color instead? <br><br>I'd love to hear your opinion on this to help me decide what the default should be.<br><br>Louis<br> Feature Suggestions http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=36#post-119 Tue, 27 Sep 2005 08:53:39 GMT rwcrooks 119@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Louis, this latest release is really nice, tieing up a lot of loose ends.<br><br>It would be nice to have the OPTION to print the source title and citation (Page) in the report instead of just the code. I know that this could add many pages to a printout (mine is 408 pages long now), but it would be nice to not have to always refer to another page of a printout or follow a hyperlink and then back-button it back to where you were.<br><br>I could see this as a check box option that the user could select or not depending on their manner of working.<br><br>Keep up the good work!

There is a nice hyperlink there that moves you over to her husband's line. It would be nice to have a link from this female at the point she is married into the new male line back to her line. I guess that I'm asking for a 2-way hyperlink so I can follow both down the line and if I want to go up the line, I can hyperlink out of my male line into a female line.

Many people leave a blank line in the notes to make them a little more readable. This would probably increase the size of the report, but not greatly.<br><br>Also, PAF uses a couple of indicators in notes. These are ! and ~. When used as the first character in a note, ! signifies a general note, ~ signifies a private note. It would be nice if Behold could strip these characters from the notes.<br><br>I'm including an excerpt from one of my GEDCOMs that illustrate both tthe blank line and the ! indicator.<br><br>1 NOTE !You probably know by now that Jack Barron was up to visit me and we had a good time.
