That technique requires V4 as you need to be able to have different orientations.

Someone else will explain better, but that's how PDF works. You get shown the print window. Choose print to PDF & then you will be asked where you wish to save the file to. It will save, not actually print.

Start with a name only text scheme & a very small adopted & birth family to practice. If you are not experienced with diagrams & charts firstly work through “Getting the Most from Family Historian 4” chapters 3,9 & 10.  Too many different techniques are utilised to be described in detail here. Take ...

If you are using V4 you may be like to try this approach

I would suggest starting in chapter3 of getting the most from FH, then chapters 9, 10 & 11. Or main FH Help menu – search help – contents – using FH – How to – diagrams & charts – display a diagram. This will show you how to view an ancestors diagram. Then look in the help again but this time - show...

When you get to thinking about how you work with this in a diagram, the following may provide ideas.

There are several ways of doing this. Whilst in the focus window, highlight your individual & choose 'add more relatives'. 'Add parent'. This will probably say 'individual already has parents. Add another set?' 'Yes' 'Create new record or link existing record'. The relationship can be set by highlig...

I still work in diagram mode & double click to get the property box for an individual which shows the marriage field.

Hope this helps. John & Marion are cousins sharing Jean & Hutchison as grandparents. Grandparents are shown linked. One set of ancestors from there are hidden using the expansion button.

Use the ancestor chart.
On diagram options choose
check for duplicates.
Hide duplicated family branches.
Link duplicates.
Use family links.
This will link the duplicated grandparents & turn off one set of ancestral branches.

This is controlled by the text scheme. Go to Diagram Options, Text. Choose a scheme - I think most of them display middle names - certainly 'birth, marriage, death' does.

From above - had trouble attaching!

I am really pleased that I can now achieve this chart in V4. V4 allows multiple diagrams within a chart to each have their own orientation, particularly useful in cases such as adoption.

Take a look at reports menu, outline reports, descendant outline. Go to report options, main, layout events & attributes. Choose 'on separate lines'. Hopefully this is what you are after, & can be tweaked to your requirements.

There is a fix for this although not officially released yet.
See http://www.family-historian.co.uk/downl ... _4.0.1.htm

Try the one in the Query Store called Surname Summary.

This information from Knowledge Base in FHUG menu should help.

I pasted off what was said at 'Code', but did not add additional search terms which is what you were trying to point out.
This immediately produced a supposed scan & download. I could not detect anything but Ad-aware had been crippled so I recovered using system restore.

Go to the diagram menu, then select the text tab which lists many options that can also be edited to your requirements.

I attempted this & got a supposed antivirus program attempting to install itself.
Caution required I think!
