Mike - thank you again for your help and apologies for the rather large screenshots. They look a lot larger than on my desktop. I will check the fonts as you suggest and look to using V7.

Thank you for all your replies. I have tried again to upload a screenshot taken using the Snipping Tool, I have also tried dragging the file, but to no avail. Anyway, my problem is only with the Census UK window. My desktop is the correct size. I suspect it is in fact a problem related to using V6 -...

Thank you for your response Bill, I have looked at the Property Box post but it does not help my query. My problem relates only to the Census UK tab. I have now been able to click on the "more" line and extra information appears. However it seems the problem is that the window is too deep for my lap...

I have just downloaded the Census UK tab for the Property box but I am unable to scroll down to see the lower part of the window. There is a line with "more" and 2 arrows which will highlight when I move the mouse over it, but nothing else. Should this move the window up/down somehow so that the oth...

I have used Nitro Pro for many years for pdfs. This is the full programme and simple to use. Much cheaper than Acrobat too.

Thanks anyway, Mike.

In the Fact tab of the Property Box with the Timeline selected, I have instances of 'events' for step-children looking the same as for birth children. Example Birth of son Philip -- this is a stepson Birth of daughter Kate -- this is a stepdaughter Birth of son Tim -- this is a birth son All stepchi...

The process I followed was this:
Open Saved Chart - Save as pdf - choose option to Adjust to fit on One Page
Choose FH PDF creator - choose Properties

The charts have now been produced satisfactorily. Thank you for your help.

I'm afraid my query derived from a lack of knowledge as to how to create a pdf in FH. I have now used the FH pdf creator, chosen the Custom page size and embedded the fonts used. The pdf of the large chart that is created is exactly as it should be. I should point out for the benefit of anyone else ...

Thanks for your time, Mike. I have answered my own problem in that if I choose my Nitro pdf writer as the printer as opposed to the Family Historian pdf printer, then all seems to be OK.

In creating diagrams, I have used Lucida Calligraphy and Harrington fonts for headings in text boxes however when I save the charts as pdfs, the fonts are changed. The body of the diagram is unchanged.
Can someone help, please? I have spent many hours on the design!
Thanks

Thank you for your help, Mike. It is always appreciated.

I have tried your third option which seems to look OK and does save a little space.

I have a couple of ancestors both with numerous siblings which makes the diagram very wide. I have been trying unsuccessfully to add lines to try and locate some of the siblings on a row underneath the others, hence saving a little space. Could you tell me if this is actually possible and if so, the...

Thank you Jane and Mike for your replies - I should have been able to work that out myself!

Is there a way to construct a pedigree diagram with 4 siblings as the root? If not, is there a way to add 3 extra sibling boxes into a pedigree diagram based on just one person?
Thanks.
Susie

Many thanks - I know it was simple, but in this case I was hesitant to press Delete in case the whole diagram disappeared!

Hi, I have inserted a rectangle shape into a diagram and now no longer want it there. Could someone kindly tell me how I can remove this?

Thanks,
Susie

Many thanks to everyone for your help and suggestions.

How do I create, or adapt, an icon to add to a 1939 Register flag?
I have read the posts about Expressions but I already have icons to go with flags for all the other censuses.
Thanks

Mike, thank you for your helpful explanations re both my queries. I think I now follow the different ways of adding Media and how to view it all. FH has so many options!

Using Version 6, in the Property Box, Facts tab, some events, with media attached to the source, show the media icon under the More column, however some do not. Is there a setting I have missed for this, or is there a way to manually add the icon? It is quite useful to see the icons there. Thank you.

Using Version 6 - I have linked some media to an individual through the Property Box media tab. Other media I have linked to a source for the same individual. How can I generate a list of all media linked to this one individual? Thanks
