Hi Howard
I have been trying to use the Reference Guide using both the menu item and the reference button. However, now all I get is a blank, divided, page with web reference file:///.file/id=6571367.46698693. Never had a problem before.
I had hoped to look up your helpful guide regarding formatting of personal names etc. I have come across a couple of (unrelated) families where the surnames have changed. I have stuck to the baptismal surname, but from indexing point of view the alternative would be helpful. Adding "aka [alternative name]" to the surname looks rather odd as the former appears to be a name and is capitalised. Any thoughts?
Best wishes
Roger

Best wishes Roger Hi Roger, I have the same problem with the blank Reference Guide! This seems to be a problem PAWriter has with macOS Sierra. PAwriter is written in an older version of REALbasic. (I have a similar problem with one of the "bonus" programs, #3 My Albums, even though it is written in the newest version of Xojo (successor to REALbasic) and is now a 64-bit program. The help file shows up empty of any references to pictures blank.I have yet to be able to overcome that problem.) I need to spend probable many weeks converting PAWriter to Xojo in any case. Probably next year. It's a massive undertaking. But first I need to try and fix the current PAWriter. So far no luck but will continue working on it as time permits. Meanwhile I will send you by email a folder containing the Reference Guide HTML. Inside you can click on index.htm to launch the Reference Guide. The folder is 5.3 Mbs in size. I hope you can receive it. Best, Howard
