Note to translators.  You should change the wording for these two lines in the Workfile record numbers 5531 and 5532 :

Line 5531 delete the duplicate textfile from both people.                                .
Line 5532 Then add the text back to the correct person with Copy and Paste.

01-Sep-2012 Longer Workfile file.

14-Nov-2011 Correction for workfile record number 6218. It should say 'Sort Name' and not 'Last Name'

22-Aug-2011 Longer Workfile file. Added a few more lines. It still says version 1.34 on the screen, but the workfile goes to line 7277 with this update.

19-Aug-2011 I changed the word Move to Copy on the Compare screen for all the buttons. Since the database on the right does not change, the word Copy is better. The Workfile currently still has Move, but when you translate, you should use the word for Copy.

08-Aug-2011 Longer Workfile file. See BKWords6.DOC for more information.

Note to translators about the Custom Wording on Book Reports: you can COPY the file called English-CustomWording.DTA file to a new file name with your language name instead of English and then the program will use that file. Then on the Book reports, press F9 and you can translate the words in the white textbox areas. (Do that for each event) After you translate the default custom words, if you are the BK translator for that language, you can send the .DTA file to John to be included in the install program.

I need to clarify the help line for Workfile record numbers 6261 and 6262:

Line 6261 is [name of spouse] when the name on the left is male and the spouse is female.
Line 6262 is [name of spouse] when the name on the left is female and the spouse is male.

21-Mar-2011 Longer Workfile file. See BKWords6.DOC for more information.

26-Sep-2009 Longer workfile file. See BKWords6.DOC for more information.

I have changed the translation for Workfile record numbers 5713 - 5718 to the following:

Word 2007 will not automatically resize all the
pictures to 1 inch the way Word 2002 did.
So click a picture, and then on the top menu click Format
and then on the right of the ribbon, in the area that is called
Size, type a 1 in the Height field and press the Enter key.
That will set the size of that picture to 1 inch tall.

19-Sep-2009 Longer workfile file. See BKWords6.DOC for more information.

06-Sep-2009 Longer workfile file. See BKWords6.DOC for more information.

06-Dec-2008 Added 3 lines to the Workfile. These three events will show in English if they are blank. So you can enter your own translation of these events in the Workfile.


    2987 = "Verify home christening"
    2988 = "Churching of woman"
    2989 = "Memorial service"

02-Nov-2008 New workfile record number 3835 and also longer workfile file to record number 5358 (.bkw lines 5434.)

29-Oct-2008 Added new topics in the Help file. 4595, 4596, 4693, 4694 (page down for complete list). The next update to BK6 will link to these new pages.

18-Oct-2008 Added some Help lines to workfile.xx6 about the new lines from 17-Oct-2008.

17-Oct-2008 Longer workfile file to record number 5270 (.bkw lines 5345.)

24-Sep-2007 Longer workfile file.

16-Feb-2007 Note to translators: Windows Vista will require a different type of help files. It will not read the normal .HLP files but will require .CHM files. Some of you are using VB HelpWriter to make the .HLP files and that program will not make .CHM files. Please contact John Steed about whether you already have a newer help authoring program that will make the .CHM files. The .CHM files will work with Windows 98 or Me or 2000 or XP or Vista. The current version of BK 6.2 will show the .CHM help file if it exists, or the older .HLP file otherwise.

14-Feb-2007 New help page: 'Attach picture to source' is context ID 4596

05-Feb-2007 Use workfile record 3730 for the new line on GEDCOM, Export 'This is the list of events to export'

 
It is possible to accidently change the topic ID numbers in your help file
so here is the correct list of numbers that BK uses.   The main screen
of BK uses topic ID number 100

10-Dec-2006 New help page: Ancestor Fan Chart is context ID 4599

On workfile line 4833 where it says Parents, that is the first of 4 lines you can use for the parents generation on the Fan chart. Then on line 4837 where it says Grand that is the first of 4 lines for grand parents. You can use 1 line or 2 or 3 or 4 for each generation. If your words are long, then use more than 1 line. You can also make a longer line, for example you could put 'grand parents' on line 4837 and leave 4838 blank. If you do that, and the words are so long that they go into the previous or next column, then you could leave the first line blank in 4833 or 4841 and use the second line for those columns. You can see what looks best for your language.

22-June-2005 New help context ID: General Todo is 4661 and List, Todo Search/Report is 4691

(new 21-Jan-2005) If your workfile has line 4437 blank, then enter your translation for the word "Witness" and versions of BK6 after 21-Jan-2005 will use that word at the bottom of Group sheets or Book reports before the names of the witnesses. Also if line 4434 is blank, then enter your translation for the words "see witness". If you already have the 18-Jan-2005 Word6set.exe file, you do NOT need to download it again, just add the word on line 4437 and on line 4434

21-Jan-2005 bkupdate.exe on the .NET web site - added "see witness" from workfile line 4434

20-Jan-2005 bkupdate.exe on the .NET web site - made some small changes on the Global Change of Ref Number screen and fixed a problem on the heading of Split Database screen.

(new 18-Jan-2005) The workfile is longer. The new lines in the workfile will work with BK 6.1 (dated 18-Jan-2005) Get BKUPDATE.EXE from the www.bkwin.NET web site.

When you run 1.13 have it make the changes from the xx6 workfile, and print the changes.
