Being a Technophobe.............

Hi, As above..... I seem to have my tree saved in PAW11 since getting a SSD installed but cannot read anything as in chart form.

Enclosed is a screen photo of what I can see so there is something on there.
I did click on it to see if I could add another family member, closed it then tried to reopen it
to get the message 'The document could not be opened. 1Doc cannot open files in the 1Doc 
Document format.

I would appreciate some help here as I am at a loss as to what to do.

Also, is there a Gedcom built into this programme to enable me to send to someone else?

Hi. Unfortunately I can't see your screenshot. Sounds as if you are a PC user. I use a Mac, but the principles should be the same. In layman's terms, a PAW2U file is a clever database, with a user friendly interface which (normally) you see on opening a file. It is possible to provide standard outputs of your family data in standard genealogical formats, in standard file formats (e.g. text, RTF, HTML). Your PAW2U (database) file itself will be unaffected by producing these outputs i.e. still in place. It sounds as if you have managed to produce one of the various genealogical charts available as an output. These are included under the FILE menu. This file should be openable using a standard app (in this case probably a document one such as Word). This is only a snapshot of the data in the format you specified (unintentionally!!), so like a printed document it does not contain the original data. To add or edit your family information you will need to find the PAW2U format file designated by [filename].paw. If somehow you managed to delete this, there may still be an automatic back-up [filename]-bkp.paw.

Yes there you can output a GEDCOM from the PAW2U file see the File Menu.

Hope I have interpreted your problem correctly, and this helps. Good luck - PAW2U is a great program for recording family history data.

Sorry to be so late in responding. Personal problems.

I didn't really understand your problem. I don't know what 1Doc is. Perhaps you can send me you PAWriter data file by email, hmetcalfe@roadrunner. com.
