I didn't know about that. Wonder how many other people don't know.

Will now do my shopping via your link.

Keep up the good work.[smile]

Hello,

Think its me being over cautious with my new computer. Will download and install.

Many thanks for your comments.

Message read 'Ancestral Sources V2.0.0 (64 bit ) is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer'.

Hi Jane - did not see anything about the publisher. It was something about it not being used very much. Will try again and get the sepcific message.

I have a relatively new computer. Its OS is Windows 7 Home premium (64 bit). I have just attempted to download Ancestral Sources V2.0.0 (64 bit) but cancelled the installation when I received a security warning from Windows about this software. Why should this software pose a danger to my computer? ...

Many thanks for your responses. There is so much to learn about this program.

I have managed to print out (on four pages) the diagram I was looking for.

Kind regards - Linda

I am sorry if this is explained elsewhere but I am going around in circles. Can anyone please explain how to print and/or save the digram you see when in the Focus Page you click on Ancestors. Its brilliant to see but I would love to save it to a PDF file and print what I see on the screen. I use V4...

Hello, well I had the house upside down and could not find my V3 disc. Found the upgrade disc but no such luck with the first one. So, I have bought the boxed version of version 4 and it came today. Will be kept very safe. New copy installed and all my projects transferred via a flash stick onto the...

I purchased the download version of V4 when it first came out. Also downloaded the update. I am shortly to take delivery of a new computer (with Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit)and cannot find the discs I burnt with the downloaded software. Can anyone please advise how I can install V4 on my new compu...

Many thanks Jane. I used the All tab method.

I have been neglecting my research lately. I will now have the time to study how FH works. Just started on Queries.

Kind regards

I should mention that she they only show up once in the index.

I have an Elizabeth Green with her parents and two children. She did not marry so there is no husband. I did have a partner entered for her but decided to delete him. In the focus window I now have two sets of information for Elizabeth Green including parents and children. Can you please advise how ...

Many thanks Jane for the information. I have copied it to her this morning and will let you know if she manages OK.

Kind regards - Linda[smile]

I have done some research for my cousin and would like to e-mail her a copy of the project file I have set up. I tried sending a copy of the backup file but she could not open it (I understand she uses FH too). Can anyone please tell me, step by step, how to send her a copy of the project file. Many...

Knew there would be a simple answer.

Tools > preferences > Focus window > fonts > edit.

All is now restored.

Hope this might help someone else.

Kind regards - Linda[smile]

Hello, I recently downloaded Version 4.1 and it would appear to have reduced the font size I was using on my focus pages.

There is, no doubt, a simple answer but can anyone please tell me how to increase the font size (eye sight not what it was)on the focus page.

Many thanks

Linda

Many thanks Jane.

Kind regards - Linda

Went off on a tangent without verifying information (I know) and now have William's wife, three children and their children to remove. Can anyone please advise how to do this or  must I go into each entry and delete the information that way. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you Linda ID:4398

Good Morning Jane, thank you for responding. I spent lots of time yesterday afternoon adding photographs to my two projects. Just love the way you get faces on your focus window so you can see who you are working with. Got myself a bit confused about the workings of FH.  I thought that I would have ...

Sorry about the strange numbers which should have been ' around the words.

When I wish to add a photograph I usually click on 'Add' on the Focus Window > Pictures. I then locate the photograph in question which is in an unconnected to FH folder/file > Open A box then appears and I 'copy' the media file into the Project Folder. The Destination folder (if copying) is 'Defaul...

Many thanks Jon - that did the trick.

I am using FH V4.02. Before coming to FH I used Family Tree Maker 2005. I have recently converted all my old FTM files to gedcom, opened new projects in FH and installed my old files there. My problem is when I come to backup my FH projects they automatically try to go into Family Tree Maker Folder....

Thanks Jane, just read your post. However, I had already printed off Chapter 15 of the Gete the Best guide and followed the lead. I am over the moon to report that I was able to create a new Gedcom file from the FTM file and then merge it with my FHv4 file. In addition delighted to find the 'Customi...

OK found 'Getting the Most from FH 4. Off to do some reading.

Will let you know how I get on.
