Thanks Renee,
I posted my comment just after you posted yours. I didn't go to look for additional responses before posting mine.
It looks like AddictiveSoftware is the way to go.

Jerry Thanks this has been helpful.
One thing I noticed in the RMSpell.adu was this:
http://www.Addictive...iveSoftware.com
This website is where I also saw a download for a German dictionary in association with RM. I am always skeptical of third party software or files unless I know they are ok. It appears that this site may be acceptable.
I will go back and read more carefully about that dictionary and then see how many things I will need to backup before I download and use this third party file.
Update: I downloaded a German dictionary from AddictiveSoftware (http://addictivesoft...ictionaries.htm) and installed it into RM7. It appears to work following the instructions form https://support.root...o-RootsMagic-4-
RootsMagic Support How do I add additional Spell-Check Dictionaries to RootsMagic 4?Additional spell-check dictionaries are available at:
http://addictivesoft...ictionaries.htm
Download the language dictionaries you wish to install in RootsMagic 4.
You will need to open the zip file and copy and paste the contents into the RootsMagic 4 program file. You can also just extract the zip file into the program folder.
Once the additional dictionaries are in the RootsMagic 4 program folder launch the RootsMagic 4 program. To make changes to the spell-check dictionary you will need to open a note and miss-spell a word, so red wiggly lines appear beneath it.
Right click the miss-spelled word and select: Spelling...> Options> Language > select all the additional dictionaries you would like to use. Then click OK and close the remaining windows.

Thanks Jerry but this will need to use a variable if possible. This will e sentence used for many people and I was hoping the RIN could help resolve some ambiguity. I can live with no RIN but since the variable is used elsewhere it would have been nice if it had been extended to a sentence variable. Maybe in version 8

I have a question about the witness or roles. I have many people from generation to generation that have identical names. It looks strange to see d\Daniel was the beneficiary of Daniel. I have the RIN displayed for people but it does not carry over to every thing. Is there a way to have the RIN show after a surname in a sentence?

KFN,
I have noticed that various products are using maybe a different version of GEDCOM or maybe just a different interpretation.
RM uses the form
1 EVEN [sub event name]
2 TYPE [event name]
Other foreign sources do not allow for anything after the EVEN tag. I think RM is correct but I still need to work with data coming from different sources. They would place the EVEN [sub event name] into an ATTR. Anyway all this just keeps us on our toes.
Again thank you.
