The problem seems to apply when the text starts plain, is then italics, and finally returns to plain.
Whether the problem affects other combinations of text style is open to experimentation.

The behaviour is unexpected so report it to CP and see what they say.

Yes, just like it does in the Property Box.

Yes, my experiment was with Genetric Sources which exhibit the same problem.

There is already the standard Title Attribute for titles. The name of the Car can be as long as you like. It does not have to fit in the box. That generally goes for most text boxes. The size of the box does not limit the size of the text field stored internally. You use the Home, End, and left/righ...

No, that is not possible but there is an alternative possibility. Currently, that pane shows the Citation: (Text: Source Record) i.e. the Source Title. The cog Menu below centre, offers Display Citation As... with options for Footnote , Short Footnote , etc. If you customise the Footnote Format or S...

See the following FH Help pages:
Select Relationship Type ~ although this refers to the Property Box it also applies to the Focus Window as explained below.
How to Flag a Child as Adopted, Illegitimate, etc in the Focus Window.

Yes, a plugin can certainly append to the end of whatever already exists.

Whether a plugin can insert at a specific location depends upon whether the structure of the Rich Text is well-defined so that a set of logical rules allow the plugin to find the desired location.

Roger, the [1+] looping index only works in Text Schemes and nowhere else. So if you want icons for such Occupations you must use one of the techniques suggested by Sarah and John. This is one of the scenarios where it might be easier to have a Record Flag for each type of Occupation and apply the i...

A workaround is to start the selection at the end of the word Footnote instead of the start of the next line.

Try the attached prototype Rearrange Address and Place Parts plugin Version V1.7.1 Date 30 Jul 2023. There are several challenges with handling such large numbers of Place records. One issue is that some button-driven functions take a significant amount of time. But the plugin was not preventing fur...

Philip, have you studied the FHUG Knowledge Base Family Historian Copy and Migration Guide ? If you have customised any Diagrams, Reports, Fact Sets, Queries, Plugins, Records Window Columns, Property Box tabs, etc, etc, then you will need to follow the Copying Program Settings advice. Those setting...

Try the attached Flexible CSV Importer plugin Version 1.9.3 Date 29 Jul 2023.

It allows ...NAME.Used or ...Name:_USED or any similar variants.

Do not assume that the CALM concepts of Sources and Citations are the same as FH uses, because the FH terms are derived from the GEDCOM definition, which I tried to explain earlier, so go back and study what I said and also the advice given in Learn about Source-Driven Data Entry . Do you understand...

Rosemary, make the window wider by dragging its border to reveal the icons.

Rosemary, IMO you are trying to run before you can walk. Take things a bit more slowly. FH is a steep learning curve for the things you are trying to achieve. Think how long it took to learn to use all the Ancestry features, and be aware that FH has far more features. Regarding Dates , a limited set...

Regarding the property box reached from the Maps option. If I type anything into the Standardized field, it is immediately erased as though I hit the Backspace key. (type xxx, then spontaniously... xx, x, nothing) Maybe David needs to uninstall FH7, delete the settings (since the settings are conta...

Do NOT tick Fact Place fields as that will cause major problems. Otherwise, the settings are OK except for the Search and Replace patterns (see later). The patterns you are using are intended to remove spaces after commas as per the example I gave earlier. You have selected 7 Place (_PLAC) records. ...

Yes, that is a customised tab in the Property Box.
Please show us the Property Box Customization settings you have used to define those two Standardized boxes.

Yes, some of the icons to the right of the Add Citation button may be greyed out, but the cog wheel Menu is active. It sounds like you have assumed it is greyed out without actually clicking the cog wheel :roll: Your earlier screenshot showing the Text From Source tab is in the Citation window. That...

Rosemary, I get the feeling you are not reading what we are telling you carefully enough. To change the Citation display mode use the gearwheel cog Menu below to the right of the Add Citation button. Use the Menu > Display Citation As > Source Record option or other options as desired. If there are ...

Maureen, it depends on the nature of the problem and whether it is repeatable or there is a workaround. If you can provide a scenario that illustrates the problem then CP are more likely to be able to fix it eventually. i.e. Can you create a Saved Chart and then add relatives that produce crossing l...

Rosemary, that is why I said you need to use the Add Citation button at least for the first new fact. The Sources For: details are listed at the top of that yellow pane you posted but only when they exist. If you have used the Source > Create Generic Source Record / Prepare Citation option then that...

You are correct Bill, and after adding the Source Citation to the first fact would be a bit quicker for all the others.
However, with the recommended 'splitter' Source Citation per household the Citation fields are usually empty.

I don't understand this. I know there's an ASC thingy that you can enable that comes up at the top of the screen, but where do I add the Census Event. I thought I'd already created one for the Head of household and full details in the Text from Source box for the other people. Does this involve typ...

No, you cannot create a fact without a name/title. What about a custom Attribute called Note where the Value can identify the type of Note such as news report, court report, or employment. The Sentence Template would be tricky so the options are: {blank} and edit the Sentence box for each fact. {not...
