I've looked in most of the normal places of these documents and cannot find where I can move or change the name after it was named and developed. See the attachments. The specific title of this doc is "F...

Re: Insert PDF or Doc into Publish-Book

OK That clarifies everything. In my case then I'll do as I planned, have a Free Text page refer to a supplement, that Supplement Page has its own contents and index to the addenda. The supplement, will be integrated by the printer into the final bound book to the back of the book published by FH. Fo...

Insert PDF or Doc into Publish-Book

I cannot find directions for inserting PDF or Doc documents into a "Books File" Or, better worded, embed these documents into the Book format. If I try to use View/Blank diagram, I only get the choice of inserting a TXT box or Picture, or Freehand Sketch. Of Course I could convert my documents into ...

Historic Picture Posting in Published Book category

Is there a way to Post only pictures on a sheet in above, perhaps 2 columns by 6 high of historical pictures. Not always associated to an individuals record, or, perhaps associated to many names at the same time. Some pic's may only be of historic locations associated with a family name. I think of ...

Re: Page break adjustment- horizontal

I should think that if I make the margins are larger on the both sides of the page it will spread the diagram out further, as long as it is not too large that the diagram will "spill" or split to another preceding or following page.
I'll try that on print format and see if it solves.

Page break adjustment- horizontal

Can one stretch the line at a page break. Viewing below picture, if I drag the structure any further right, all the people from the left page closest to the seam will jump over the line. If I drag the structure to the left, the line will stretch to a small point and then all the people closest to th...

Re: Font change Ancestor Diagram

Ahh, that did it, the 1st instructions did not change anything, as it defaulted back to 8 pt, after you made the change. This last change also changes the aspect ratio of the entire Output, making the tree larger, hence, one must re-scale the final output smaller, to fit the larger font used for ent...

Re: Suppress abbreviation 'USA' from Publish/Books any report

That is a good idea, and I'll look into that, Thanks to Tatewise I have manipulated the script and edited it out with script language the word USA, in the record at output, which may not be a good choice for those that have not programmed s/w.

Ohhh, wow, Many thanks, I'll copy past that answer, or print to PDF and keep on the desktop for rapid referral. Your answer is the perfect solution to this Book publishing Task.

Re: Suppress abbreviation 'USA' from Publish/Books any report

I will Try the RTF format, but I'm thinking RTF when print output is used will uncover other subtle formatting changes that will be adverse to the final output. However I will try it and see what happens. thanks for that idea. Also thanks for the clue on not changing my record format, I was thinking...

Suppress abbreviation 'USA' from Publish/Books any report

I would like to suppress the "USA" from any report in the Publish-Books since in my trees 90% of individuals are from the USA, but still leave the Country present when in a country Not in USA, I can't see anything in Tools, perhaps there is a plug-in, or a 'script' elsewhere unknown to me.

Re: Alias/Alternate Names Clean-up

OK, yes, technicality; I associate alias in the report as the A.K.A. or 'also known as', and the AKA is being duplicated or triplicated correlated with every time I import a GED. And as you say I need to follow more stringent importing protocol you described above, and not view-able as I write this ...

I've imported 3 different GED files from Ancestry, all improvements from the previous import, and now I have 3 Aliases for every member in my Tree. Since there are 1200 individuals to manually go into each one and delete the extra alias is a task. In Family Historian I have attached 5-600 pictures s...

Publish/Books/Ancestor Diagram -or- Descendants Diagram

When one creates the report pages of above report names the Spouse is always generated one below the other. This is very nice when the "tree" is vertical. However, I like to make Ancestor trees left to right, and would like to print/display husband/wife side-by-side for condensing this on standard 1...
