Hi Mike, Thank you for doing this. When I tried to run the plug in, I received this warning message: Script Header: change %20Any%20Fact%20Tag @Title differs from file name If I clicked ok, it directed me to a web page the wouldn't open. If I went back to the plugin, which said it was running, I cou...

Wonderful..... thank you for all you do!!!!

Thanks for all the advice. Number three is not an option.... I often use more than one name in the report and need the flexibility of that option. Number two is a possibility and I will need to try it.... but it is not ideal. The first solution sounds promising but it will be some t time before I am...

Hi Mike, I'm not judging.... just plugging away to try and learn as much as I can. I know I still have a lot to learn and may even find "cleaning up" TMG and reimporting the data an easier way to go. I'm just trying to find out if FH will meet me needs in the end. The one big point is if there is a ...

Getting more and more complicated by the minute and am not sure if FH is able to do what I need to do to make my narrative reports read well. In the problem with adjusting and making all the witness roles (that actually appear in each individual's fact list, I first need to go to one of the principa...

Mike, thank you for all the time you spent explaining everything. It is still a very big job moving to FH from TMG.... one I expected but hoped would not be quite as convoluted. A change to allow one to choose an individual fact to change type would be very beneficial.....I don't know or understand ...

Hi Mike, Thank you for taking all this time to help me! When I first made the plugin, the Contact info did not appear on the fact type list. I had then closed the program and when I reopened it to check for you, it was there. Same thing happened, if I remember correctly when I made the hyphenated ta...

Hi Mike, I was able to use Change Fact type to change a residence fact to the contact info fact. This new fact appears on the Fact tab under "contact Info" which is as it should be. But when I originally ran your program to make the contact info, it also created a new tab labeled "contact Info"........

An update - I found 6.1.4 and was able to update the program. Now all of my hyphens work and I have been able to define all the undefined facts. Assume I can use your Change fact type to consolidate between the original TMG tags and the FH facts. Is there a way that one is able to edit each individu...

Thanks, Mike. The query was just what I needed.

I added the additional underscore but the original "- moved to" still remains as does its connections. At this point, I think I should just wait until I can download 6.1.4...

Best,

Hi again, Mike, I don't know if I am missing something. I have checked both facts: 1. Their names are and labels are the same. Either "Address - moved to" for the old or "Address_moved to" for the new 2. Both old and new are red and moth are listed as event 3. The only differences I see are that the...

Hi Mike, Thanks again for everything. I have found the tutorials and downloaded them so I am good to go. Also appreciate your help with the contact info... just what I was looking for. One question, which also pertains to the first part of your response. I created a new underscored fact as you had s...

Ah, Don... Thank you. Your response clears up another of my problems. I kept looking for all my role sentences.... so at least now I know the reason they are not there. What a tremendous amount of work I have ahead for myself. My roles seem to have come across in sentences such as, She W after B exp...

Hi Mike, Thanks for taking the time to try and help me! I understand exactly what I should do, but then what happens. How do I connect the existing fact to the new fact name? I have just created a new fact with the underscore, but when I try to use your wonderful plugin, "Change andy fact...", I can...

Thanks for helping Mike. Yes, it probably is a continuation and maybe I should have just followed that lead. Sorry! When I get the message in regards to the hyphen it does not allow me to create a custom tag or do anything else. It just says that the hyphen is invalid. In the import, those hyphenate...

Thanks for replying so quickly, Brent. That sounds like a great idea and I am going to try that myself. Other than the tag labels, is there anything else you had to adjust?

I also noticed a couple of my tags did not come over at all and need to figure out why.

Best,
Helen

Hello, I am a new user, a refugee from TMG. I have tried reading much of the book, "Getting the most out of..." and am trying to play around with the program. I have come up against a problem. My TMG direct import brought in a number of tags (to you "facts") that are hidden in the "Fact type" lists....

Thanks again, Mike, your answers are so helpful. I have found the book and downloaded it.... so it will be a great place for me to start. Your last suggestion that the roles should appear under the residence standard tag, does not seem to be working..... The only role under the residence tag is that...

Thanks for answering so quickly, Mike and for trying to help me. I tried to follow what you said but am so new, it seems like Greek to me!!! I have been looking for the book as it was mentioned on the site that it was a free download with the program.... but I cannot locate it on my computer. Would ...

Hello All, I am totally new to FH, having upgraded today from TMG. I have bought a license, so I have 6.1.3 installed. Bringing over my project from TMG went seamlessly, but now I am confronted with a problem. I have noticed that many of my TMG roles as witnesses read wrong in the sentence narrative...
