Ok...a few more issues. First, thanks for those who commented on the others. Here's more detail.

1) The relationship calculator takes a long time before it displays (about 2 minutes) and then it defaults the highlighted person into the right side instead of the left side where it used to be in version 6 and before. The person that was used to set relationships is defaulted into the left side and presumably the previously computed relationships are shown to the highlighted person. The calculate relationships button seems to "refresh" those calculations and is extremely slow. Version 6 could re-compute and report on the relationships in a few seconds. Version 7 takes more than 20 minutes to do the calculations. Therefore, in version 7 you first have to wait several minutes for the unwanted relationships to be shown, then you can enter the desired two people and wait another 20 minutes for their relationships to be shown. This makes it very difficult to use the tool in version 7. The speed problem is probably why new people added to the file do not automatically get their relationship computed since data entry could not be delayed for long periods between each new individual. Perhaps the programmers could make it possible to select the old (faster) calculator until the new one is fixed. As it is now, this is perhaps the worst bug in version 7 and the results are still not correct.

2) The option to set Word for Blank Records to "(Just leave it blank)" did not work initially after coversion to version 7. After setting it to "Unknown" and saving that setting and then changing it to "Just leave it blank" and saving settings again...it now works correctly in family view. The word "Unknown" is still showing in the Marr List on marriages where there is only one spouse record. A non-blank record in the database has a RIN. A blank record does not have a RIN. There may be other places where this option needs to apply so that the work Unknown only shows when the appropiate option has been selected and saved.

3) The "set clipboard" saved items were not carried forward from those saved in version 6. They do work but must be re-entered and saved again...then the right click on the triangle works as it did in version 6. Why were they not carried forward from version 6?
