Re: Is it possible to construct a truly Free-Format template in FH7?

I just came across the free-fromat templates and this discussion. I'm in favor of being able to have them and have voted. I am going to play around with some of the ideas presented here, but wanted to throw my 2 cents in.

Re: Property Box Missing citation list when floating

Thank you. I know about the dots but since I didn't see any I didn't think to adjust the top one. That's all it was.

Property Box Missing citation list when floating

When my property box is docked, I can see the list of sources at the bottom. docked.jpg But when it's floating I get this: Floating.jpg I've looked at settings but am missing something. It used to show the Source record floating or docked. I want it to look like the first picture. Thanks for any help

I'm talking about in an individual report and here:

I'm heading out the door shortly, but I made a new fact that was fine. So maybe something else is going on. I'll work on it some more later and get back to you.

Citing English Census

It will be quite obvious, I'm a confused American. This is a genealogical question, not a technical one, so I've put it in General Usage. I hope that is OK. I try to mostly stick to Evidence Explained method of citations. In the US citing the jurisdiction/civil division in census records is fairly s...

Re: What software to write a book.

Thank you. I'll check into PDF-exchange. And I didn't realize newer versions of Word could edit a PDF. I have Donna Baker's Zotero book and considered it. But I'm very Evidence Explained oriented and getting the citations like I want them seemed like it might be a lot of work. On the other hand, may...

What software to write a book.

I'd like to write a book with end notes, not footnotes. I'd like to be able to edit and move the text around. No matter what software I look at, Word, Scrivener, etc it seems I'll have to manually renumber and reference my thousands of citations. I don't hate the reports in FH7, but I want to easily...
