I don't think there is a shortcut for that, one possible work around is to write a plugin which creates the rich text directly prompting for each field from ORA. You can add the plugin to the menu to make it easy to call.

I would try removing one of the fields. It is possible the interface it is getting multiple event triggers.

One thing to try is going into diagram options and force a redraw by changing the number of generations, does that resolve your issue?

You can add a "blank" Death Fact which will enough to show they are dead. Reports will show "He died" My own policy for Online sites is to completely remove all living people before uploading, anywhere but my own site. As always the Knowledge base has extensive notes on this and other options. https...

Another option is to create a custom query, so you add all Descendants of the root person, then add the spouses of any one in the result set, then add ancestors of anyone in the result set for 2 generations, and add descendants for 2 generations. Then you can use your query for the export or use it ...

The help for the function does detail the 4 parameters. The 1st and 2nd parameters will default to the current record when using a query so %INDI% and the example for using relationship does show all 4 parameters in use.

Please note: ColeValleyGirl is offline for a few days. I will try and have a look next week, but I am working all week.

If it happens every week, check they are coming to the same address, I know a few people may have two accounts. It does occasionally glitch, but it seems to be an issue on the Amazon end so I am not able to tell why.

To control the list which appears on the drop down are controlled by editing the Fact type and ticking or unticking the Fast Add menu option.

Family Historian provides a selection of Facts.

YOU need to create any other non standard facts such as Travel, by creating a custom fact.

Rather than amending an existing fact, you should have created a custom fact for Travel.

What I normally do is to simply add a header for each page, just to show the page breaks. something like
<original page 1 end>
or just <page 1>

I doubt page break is supported, as in FH terms it does not really make sense. Why were you trying to include one?

I know My History have printed 12m and longer diagrams, I suspect it is not done as a single image, but rather as "strips", but I have not played with printer driver code.

Just plug the printer into your computer and select print from the file menu.

If you are purchasing hardware then there is no limit within Family Historian, the PDF limit does not apply. So when you print direct the length is related to the length of the roll used.
Most paper rolls are around 50m so I suspect that is probably the maximum.

Also do not forget you can drag the diagram around by clicking and holding on any blank space and moving the mouse, or holding down the space bar and moving the mouse.

This happens occasionally, I am not sure if it is a Amazon thing, as I can't see any errors on our server and the logs look fine, eg people are not listed twice. I use Amazon to send them as our TOS for the web server frowns on sending bulk emails.

Sorry, yes Remember Me. I never see it as I tick it once and my devices stay logged in.

It sounds like a session change (perhaps an IP Nat session update). Do you normally use the "keep me logged in" if not that may be worth a try as cookies normally survive session changes.

Have you remembered to go into Diagram options and selected the number of generations to show and set it to a large number?
