Sorry, I don't think that is possible because the table header text is defined by the {CENSUSGRID} keyword.

The << Insert Data Ref... button is a feature of the << Add Condition > Expression dialogue. They are not mutually exclusive. For example, the button lets you insert a Data Reference into a Function parameter in the Expression . You will discover throughout FH that Expressions are used in many dialo...

To cater for the presumably rare case of holding a document copy where the original no longer exists, could another field convey the fact that it is a copy? Then there only need be one Repository . e.g. the Source Description or perhaps Misc. Ref. Num. could say Copy of ... You claim that "The Simpl...

To tidy up an old Project I suggest you open the Project, perform a File > Backup/Restore > Full Backup and then in the Project Window use More Tasks... to Delete Project...
Later on, you can delete the backup file when happy it is no longer needed.

I think the answer to both those questions is 'no'.

I thought it relevant as PP is converting from V6 Generic Sources to V7 Templated Sources, has problems using Jane's plugin, is " spending an awful lot of time reformatting and trying to represent my current data in a better format " and requests pointers. However, I accept that the process may have...

I hope you consulted the FHUG Knowledge Base Sources and Citations in Version 7 (for Upgraders) , especially Should I Use Source Templates? the explains the pros & cons of converting to Templated Sources versus sticking with Generic Sources. Is there a way of automatically generating the Text from S...

Teresa, I don't know if this will help, but this is my interpretation/explanation for Jeff's two fields. Repository (Unique Item) is optional plain text that is prefixed before Primary Repository in the Footnote. Primary Repository is the linked Repository record and appears in the Footnote. Your So...

Klaus, the parish names probably appear in your Place records. So to find those parish names we need to know your Place record naming format. What are the comma-separated parts in your Place names? e.g. town, parish, county, country where Parish is in the 2nd comma-separated part. Use Tools > Work w...

That is a nice idea but there are more than two options. For example, when I add new media from a file the Copy File(s) to: drop-list options are: <Don't copy - link only> <Default Location within Project Folder> i.e. \Media\ Census i.e. \Media\Census\ Certificates i.e. \Media\Certificates\ Places i...

Bev, perhaps an explanation is necessary of why it is not currently possible. Each field in a Property Box custom tab is currently restricted to a Data Reference that is local to the current record. That is fine for Record Flags that are a sub-field of an Individual Record, i.e. %INDI._FLGS.__...% H...

Jeff, maybe I'm missing something, but why not name your personal private collection Repository record such as: Private collection of Jeffry La Marca The Family Historian Sample Project has a similar Repository called Collection of Nigel Munro Then there is no need for a Repository (Unique Item) whi...

Sorry, despite its name, there is no 'automation' available within Autotext. It only automates the insertion of plain text.
To perform any 'automation' such as inserting a Date will require a Plugin to be written.

Deirdre, could you possibly let us know how you did that for the benefit of other users who might need to do the same?
Don't keep the secret to yourself!

e.g. Did you copy the ...fh_data\Books\ folder or what?

Welcome to the FHUG Frederica. Yes, the fonts used in FH support most foreign language characters and accents including the German umlaut. See the FH Help > Family Historian Help > How to... > Enter Accent Characters https://www.family-historian.co.uk/help/fh7/hh_start.htm#howto_enteraccentcharacter...

The choice of how to record history sometimes comes down to choosing between standard facts and custom facts. So to record where people resided may be a choice between the standard Residence fact and alternative custom facts. However, a feature of FH/GEDCOM is the fact Descriptor / TYPE subsidiary f...

Welcome to the FHUG Jim. Reading between the lines, I guess you are using the Diagram > Options > Boxes tab to set a Condition Expression for an Icon feature. When you use the << Insert Data Ref button the Individual + Events + Burial + Note option will provide the Expression for %INDI.BURI[1].NOTE2...

Earlier I said it would help to know which product you imported from and whether it was a direct import or a GEDCOM import. Unfortunately, you did not answer and that is compromising our advice. I assumed you had performed a direct import from TMG, but it now seems I was wrong and you imported a GED...

Since you mention Narrative Reports specifically, in Tools > Fact Types... select the fact to inhibit, then Edit... its definition to change the Sentence Template to code {blank} which blanks the narrative sentence.

Yes, you certainly have a great many inherited custom facts that need reviewing. Virtually all the facts shown in your screenshots are inherited relic non-standard custom facts. 1) In the Query window Columns tab, click the black triangle in bottom left corner and tick Show Both in Box . That will s...

Yes, sorry, you are correct and single dates put the Year in both XDATE1 and XDATE2 :oops: For further details about Dates see the Family Historian Help page for General Topics + Date Formats https://www.family-historian.co.uk/help/fh7/hh_start.htm#dateformats.html To delete a Query Column (or a Row...

Yes, Tools > Fact Types... provides much useful information once you know how to decode it. The Type column differentiates Events and Attributes . Those are the only two types of facts. The Fact Set column differentiates between Standard facts and custom facts (which are all the others). If you tick...

Ron, I was not asking for the whole program, just a snippet of code that runs to illustrate your problem. To use the # counts you must supply the entire object that needs counting. i.e. As Jane said CHIL does not exist in its own right. It is a sub-array of famOBJ so you must start there. The partic...

I agree with Lorna regarding Media images and Face Frames. Neither are affected by monitor scaling. Another issue it would be handy to avoid is copying across the various window sizes and positions. Could be prevented by excluding or replacing another settings file after running the plugin as well? ...

I can see, while it helps a little, in identifying the relevant images, it doesn't show me the frame view. You have not explored all the Media Window options, that will help with Face Frames. After choosing All Individual Media , select the first image. Click the View (Toggle Picture/Thumbnail View...
