Thanks Mike. Shame. I am familiar with the various chart options and will see how close I can get.

Thanks Neil. Here is the screenshot

Does anyone know if there is a way of printing a chart in the format found on the Descendants Tab on an individual's focus window? By the way I tried to do a Snip copy and Ctrl-v paste into this post but nothing happened when I pressed Ctrl-v, what am I doing wrong please?

For all my media files and any other documents I keep, whether inside or outside of FH, my naming structure is always Surname, first names, year of birth and then the document type and possibly its reference. This means I can easily sort and find documents for an individual, which is what I am mostl...

I suspect they cannot resolve the problem in PDF because they are created by the 3rd party NovaPDF Print utility. What happens to the hyperlinks if you use a word-processor such as Word to export the RTF as a PDF? Mike, I must apologise. I didn't spot your question all that time ago. Using MS Word ...

I assume you already know that FH can print out the tree on as many A4 pages as needed, and you can sellotape them together? The text is then full size. To see the page boundaries on your tree click the Page icon which should be on the second line of icons at the top of the screen. You will need to ...

I produce the diagram in PDF format then send it to a company called My History Limited to print it out. https://www.my-history.co.uk/acatalog/Printing-your-chart-design-PDFCHART.html#SID=519 Their service has so far been lightning fast. (I am sure there are competitors.) I have sometimes had to pla...

Aahh. Sorry, I didn't run the video, I just looked at the example. Thanks

Hi

That Changing Relations page doesn't actually answer the question. I have always done this change by using the Edit menu option to Unlink From the current parents then adding an existing couple as the new parents. But is there an easier way?

Regards

Ian

CalicoPie have replied and confirmed that this problem has already been logged for their developers to fix.

I still have that problem with long URLs such as https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/?fbclid=IwAR1EiVFddG02EGsDnw2qEJRd1PrzHdRQ0gyd6vktcb7rbxKP-20tINWX-FM#zoom=17&lat=54.75821&lon=-1.61009&layers=168&right=BingHyb even in Arial font. I used to have the same problem with .RTF files but repor...

Have you also tried asking the findmypast facebook group. They have some great folks, who may have seen something like this before.

I know it isn't the normal convention, but I prefer left to right charts, rather than top down, as they seem to use far less paper.

An update. Calico Pie have fixed the hyperlinks bug in .rtf narrative report files, so they are now clickable. They do not seem to have fixed it in PDFs yet. I have seen the .rtf fix which will be in FH 7.0.9.0. They didn't provide a release date.

For information, this is what the support team replied with. "Family Historian does not currently support exporting web links as clickable links to either PDF or RTF. Instead, web links are exported as text. If the text is displayed as a link (i.e. the "Display Text" field is left blank when the web...

Thanks Mike. I will try the font size trick!

Assuming it isn't me being dumb, has anyone else found a way around this please? I have added hyperlinks to some people's Note fields, to reference National Library of Scotland maps and various other external sites. They all work from within FH, but I have had to report a bug to Calico Pie (no #7766...

Hi Mike. Yes I believe it is the last one, the inverted ancestors report. I use the current ancestors report but I do find it slightly odd to read about people in that order. It would be nice if someone could show us one from other applications. Regards Ian

Hi. I am just being curious, as I do not fully understand what you are trying to do, and am keen to learn more about reporting. Are you trying to produce a report of all (and only) your direct ancestors listed from oldest to youngest? Rather like the current ancestors report which goes from youngest...

Although I don't use administrator mode on my PC. Maybe FH does.

It worked. Thanks very much. I was pretty sure I had closed and restarted after the new version, but maybe not.

Thanks Mike. I will try a restart.

Until recently when I had a new photo for a person in my tree, I would open the media tab for the person and drag the photo into FH. Now I get a round black circle with a diagonal bar across it. I have to use the Add Media button to bring them in. This is a recent change although I can't recall if i...

I don't know if this helps, but I tend to use left to right layout rather than top down which feels easier to scroll around.

Thanks for the additional info. I was trying to remember the phrase regular expressions! I have reported it.
