Family Historian User Group

Dear Mike Very comprehensive answer thanks. Of course I started with FH scanning in just faces until I realised (probably with latter versions) that I should use the group and then link the faces with FH - it is great. So I have both externally clipped and correctly FH handled photos - thanks for sh...

Thanks - I'm adding a multimedia report as you suggested, however when I look at images either in individual report or multimedia report I'm only shown head portraits. Can't find the option to 'view as whole picture'

Hi first time using 'Books'. I wish to show both Portrait sized images for people as well as the Group Photo that they were 'snipped' from in the Ancestor and Descendant narrative report. Hence a photo of James Smith's face goes with his record as well as a larger family photo of John Smith, James S...

Hello all I am asking your advice on what basic method to share information with relatives. I make contact with a cousin that I have not spoken to for years and say 'look I'll print / .pdf you some work that I have been doing on the family tree for your interest and comments' What do I send? There i...

I am now (with forum users help on image links) getting closer to considering upgrading to V4. A couple of years ago I had emailed a 'backup' from FH to myself by way of backup. I had also copied my 'Data' directory onto a stand alone hard disc. Then the hard disc on the laptop crashed and I lost ev...

Hi PeterR MANY THANKS - it worked - I do not know how to show my gratitude - probally the electronic equivalent of chocolates! Absolutly great now to see the pics. Would you like to comment now on my file structure with reference to FH or not. I want to get it into the 'advised' structure before upg...

Dear PeterR Many thanks for the reply. Sadly my window for Ext Links has now changed to the one shown in the image below... http://www.fhug.rjt.org.uk/images/uploads/Family_Historian_Ext_File_Link.jpg I think this is the result on me trying again and again to get the pics linked. I am beginning to w...

Dear Jane, I am still stuck - I think that I probably need somebody to log on to my PC remotely or talk me through it. Surely it is so simple yet I can not get get my photos to show up. I do want to get the photos in the right place before I upgrade to V4. Perhaps I should move the photos to the rec...

Dear Jane, many thanks for your reply. Sorry I still can not do it. Below are two screen shots of the directory structures. . . First the old directory that it is trying to get the images as shown from the 'work with external file links' http://www.fhug.rjt.org.uk/images/uploads/old_directory_struct...

Hello all Just got a new PC and have installed FH with a new directory structure but can not make the chages required in 'Work with External File Links' The old link to the data file was CDataFamilyHistorianGedcomAnderson3   and the old link to the photos was CDataFamilyHisorianFH_photos with a sepe...

Thanks Jane, I do not think that I tried to use any different fonts. Just plain vanilla as they say.

Not too much trouble, will just have to print at work a bit.

thanks Fergus

Still no good using my wife's Kyocera FS-1020D at home. I have removed the driver, gone to Kyocera web site and re-installed the driver.

Still missing names from boxes. Rather anoying, will try messing around with printer settings.

Bingo - thanks Jane I was going to reply that I was still using my Commodore Pet 64 machine with a cassette drive but then you would know just how old I am! Am at work today and it prints fine on this different printer. so must me a driver problem. will investigate tonight Thanks for your input. Fer...

Can not work out what has happened. Looks ok on the screen and on Print Preview but on paper names have vanished.

Looked at the text options for diaghams and it was set on Birth, Marriage, Death

I tried changing it to Name, Dates but no luck

Any ideas please?

thanks Fergus
