I have only just noticed I had brought this up before earlier in the year and I apologise for bringing this up again. (need better brain) Also I had sent a request to Calico direct. I have not tried this but my suggestion of creating a text file and saving as a jpeg and then inserting into a text bo...

Most other programs have this facility. i.e. you create the full submitter detail in a box, Name,1st line address, 2nd. line address, County, Zip Code, Country, Land line, then there is a facility to move this box around. Surely if it works the best way would be off line create the submitter detail ...

Thanks once again for all your help
One last question
How do I insert submitter data into the chart if I have set up the submitter data, preferably in a box with small fonts

I have looked at Insert in the book and on help file no help there.

thanks
a little confusing
I just wanted under the BMD text option to apply also to extended diagrams so that whenever I use Ancestor & Descendant option (now cloned and edited and used as default) it applied and also to different projects. ie a catch all !!

Thank you All very ok saved chart and defaults I thought When I open a different person within the same project though not all the defaults appear to apply Can I take the one I applied to one chart so that for every thing applies to all all charts Perhaps even for other projects as well. i.e. an ove...

Sorry forgot to mention the Name in box males is blue and females red and same apply to Life Dates but cannot find where to make this Bold Red or Bold blue

Thanks all done with great help from you and from chapter 9
Still having difficulty in that I want to have Name and Life Dates in BOLD in box ......but NOT births marriages and deaths in box which should remain as Regular.
I only want the Life Dates and Name in bold... nothing else anywhere.

Thanks Mike I did a little of this with your help about 5 years ago and memory fades. I understand the clone. 2 further questions if ok ? 1 on the default it appears to colour the boxes of ancestors and descendants with different colours where is this setting to put back both to black and white ? 2 ...

Thank you VERY much Jane & Mike I take it that I can make Life span come up under the name in all charts ?

Hi, although I have, and still have 4 genealogy programs including Family Historian I have had difficulty in finding a solution to the following :- 1. In Diagrams to be able to specify the font, it seems to alter in many place but not in the diagrams themselves. The Forenames and Surnames are very s...

I have contacted Calico and they have made a note of my wishes for the future
Thanks all.

Thanks you all
Duly noted about the default.

Thanks all It seems like a lot to do just to add the submitter data. Could I request that this be added to the Wish list and /or send to Calico. On all reports on last page the printing date time and full submitter info ie Name ,full address, telephone no, mobile no. Many other genealogy programs us...

Also printing date to be added.At the saving I found I could save as a Custom report but still no way of saving the submitter data....

Thanks all

Thank you all My point was that on a single day multiple backups could overwrite but on other days a normal backup ie 1 backup stored per day. In any case every day I backup to hard disc and also at same time to USB drive as security. It was just annoying to see some times as much as 8 backups with ...

On working on a project which I have several large ones I find that I need to backup several times on the same project daily for security. I see that each time it uses the preference file and the date. This is OK but why do I have to create multiple backups on the project daily. Is it possible to do...

Thanks Mike and BillH
Found and sorted

Yes I have bought both Custodian 3 and Astrocalc. I also searched for Custodian3.msi and also Custodian 3.msi no trace. I think the only way is to de...

Continuing the prog install refers to C:\ Windows\Download Installations. Does Custodian 3 Use this as well please
