Re: Upgrading to version 6.2.1

I've tried all variations regarding updating to 6.2.1 - all have failed.

I have now given the details to Calico Pie, and await their response.

Re: Media file names

Mike, I find narrative reports that include images to be difficult to follow and they look very messy. My intention is (was?) to include all basic images, BMD and census, as a separate report outwith FH, in filename sequence. Thus having the media name in a FH report would facilitate the cross refer...

Media file names

I'm trying to include source media file names in reports with no success. If I untick "Show Source Pictures" the filename is no longer printed and I can see no way of then printing the filename.

Re: Narrative Report Middle Name Missing

Further comment.

I am still confused as to the reasoning behind the standard report not displaying the full name. Are there, I wonder, any other instances of this?

Changing fonts in reports

I may be missing something here but after trying various reports it seems that if I wish to change fonts for all reports the definitions have to be changed separately for each report, rather than once for all reports.

I'm new to FH so perhaps I've overlooked something.

Re: Captions for photos and images

I use Paint Shop Pro to manipulate images so I'm not sure what the terminology would be for Elements, but one way to achieve what you want is as follows. 1 Create a new blank image (with a white background) slightly larger than the original image. 2 Copy the original image and paste into the new ima...

Hi, I've been researching both my family and my wife's family since 2008. I find the method that suits me is to spend one or two hours at a time four or five times a week. I restrict myself to these times even if I do not find any new facts although it is unusual if something doesn't crop up. This w...

Re: V6 updates

Unless I had a senior moment, I am sure I saw two download buttons when I looked earlier (one for 6.0.1 and one for 6.0.2).

Now there is just the one for 6.0.2.

Sorry for that, no need to respond.

V6 updates

I notice there are two updates listed 6.0.1 and 6.0.2. I'm on 6.0.0.
Are the updates cumulative or do I need to update to 6.0.1 then 6.0.2?

Unable to run AS

Hi,

First of all I'm a newbie to FH. Recently changed from another package. Installed AS but when I try to run (Tools, Plugins then selecting Ancestral Sources Data Entry) I get the following window with no button selectable.

See attachment.

Setting default fonts for reports

Having switched from another software package I'm still feeling my way with FH v5.

Is there a way to set defaults for reports i.e. fonts etc?
