Gene,
Read Brian's instructions again. You didn't go to the right place.
View - Master Lists - To Do Categories then Options button then Import ...

NOT File - Import.

Just a suggestion, but as you said that you are just getting into version 9
- have you activated the Deluxe version - perhaps the To-Do Category List
is only available in the Deluxe version - just thinking outside the box

Re: [LegacyUG] To-Do List Categories

It shouldn't be.

Go to View > Master Lists > To-Do Category
If that list is empty you have a problem with your installation.

Click Options > Import
Click on To-Do Category List to put a check mark in the box.
Click the Import Defaults
That should repopulate your categories.

Re: [LegacyUG] Error with source descr.

[Brian Kelly]

I looked in the bug tracking system and could not find any earlier 
report of the problem. I did find a report on a similar problem when you 
have the FindAGrave field added to the Family View.


I have now entered the problem with the FSID label when used on the 
Family view into the bug tracking system.


I noticed, during my testing that the problem is an extra space in front 
of the FSID number. Here is an example when I tried the problem in my 
file: PS, I have changed the FSID to protect the data in my file.


https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/ K91K-FG6

if you edit the address on the "page not found" error page to remove the 
space in front of the FSID number you can redirect the problem page to 
the right place.

have the FS ID available to see at a glance, so I chose to have the last 
field show the FS ID number. I didn't know until now you could open the 
Individual Information box and click on the label for the FS ID as a way 
to jump into the person's page in FS FT. Thanks for the tip, but I still 
hope they can work it out so that right-clicking on the field name of FS 
ID (if customized to be there) on the Husband and Wife boxes of the 
Family View will work again to do the same thing. It's a lot quicker and 
easier that way.

I tested both a left and right click on the label and both methods 
took me right to the person's page in FamilySearch.


If the person does not have a FSID entered then clicking the label 
will take you to the FamilySearch records search.
