Trying to keep the print as simple as possible -is there a simple set up for just printing in black and white - and if so is there a way of putting trimming marks on the paper so as to make accurate aligning of the various parts - I realize a light background would do this but is there another way? ...

Thanks so much - I've been reading the chapter looking at past answers most of the afternoon. That was a brilliant concise answer.

I've looked at previous answers to this- all very clear ( and read chapters 9 and 10 ) however still having a problem whilst I can change the font size of the "name" but if I try to change other items in "items used in this scheme" nothing happens. By this I mean I'd highlight "birth" and edit the f...

As you will have gathered from my other basic questions I'm not that experienced with FH - I use it only to create charts. However with Mac OSX 10.7.5 running Parallels windows 7 - the normal deletion Key seems to work and the instance with deleting a pictures appear so far to be the only occasion i...

Solved it! - selected as suggest then Edit > delete selected. However I would suggest caution in case you have selected more than one item and may delete more than you want.

Yes that is what I did - but still there - I'm using windows 7 on a Mac.The image when selected has the usual anchor points but refuses to delete?

Yes, and was surprised there wasn't an option to delete.

I was experimenting putting a picture into a diagram - that worked - but how can I remove it? Yes I know it's an idiot's question but I've looked at the manual and can't see the answer - probably because it's so obvious -thanks

Once again tatewise I'm in your debt - problem solved - Thank you.

Hi I've probably missed something, but on my diagram the marriage date is showing up on both partners. Is it possible to choose which partner it should be under?
I did import this tree originally as a gedcom file.

Sorry - have now updated profile - thanks tatewise an earlier answer of your has solved the problem

Thank you I should have put in the version, which is V.5. Unfortunately I do want to print with a white background and was hoping it would be possible to insert markers to indicate the sheet border.

Is it possible to put corner marks or something similar when printing a tree on multiple sheets to make assembling a bit easier?

Thanks to you both- first I tried re-sizing using the boundaries and it did indeed move and I got as far as having only one page break down the centre - I'm using windows 7 with parallels on a Mac - but this does seem very tricky -but fun. Then as I really wanted it as a PDF -to send to commercial p...

When I follow the instruction on this forum I find the instead of the bottom rh corner moving all the page boundaries move like a net over the chart/diagram
I'm using version 5 on windows 7
What have I got wrong this time?[smile]

Thanks that's great - I've come to FH from years, off an on, with a previous prog and finding FH a delight.

I printed out a chart for the first time with certain members marked as 'hidden' . The next chart had these members 'unhidden' however their boxes had a blue background - is there a way to ensure the entire chart is B & W ?

Ah! the joys of walking before you can run : -) That's exactly what I did and obviously blundered it! However in this case I'm fortunate in that I was transferring data to a Mac running windows 7 but still have an unsullied version on the XP. I'll go more carefully in future. Thanks for the quick re...

Hi,
I'm using V.5 I went for a list of individuals and all appear as duplicated.
I originally imported the data as gedcom from another prog.
When I view a/diagram/chart the duplicates don't show.
It's a very small tree of only some 300 members.
Where have I gone wrong.?

Ah! that will teach me to read more carefully.

I've just tried it - perfect.

Thank you both

Thank you for the reply - I had a look at the Diagram options but couldn't see the appropriate tab I'm using V.5
As you will have guessed I'm a newbie

Is it possible to remove people from a diagram/chart but not delete them permanently?.
