IN FH I have three columns for places, Village/Town/City, County, Country, and places appear with these three elements when I use AS to create entries. However, I would prefer that the automatically generated transcription text omits the Country. I know there's an expression for use within FH to sel...

I use a generic source FindAGrave, and then add the image to the citation. I also copy the details for each name on the memorial into the citation text. The citation can then be used for each individual mentioned on the memorial. I use the citation against the death event as the date given is usuall...

Orphan sentences from notes against a witness is not a bug, but a mis-constructed sentence template made by me (and forgotton about )

Just a quick update- The narrative report font issue has been identified as a bug and will be fixed in a later release. The issue with tabs will be fixed in a later release when tabs will be added as per the note, with the observation that the alignment in the notes may not be exactly reproduced in ...

I have had to rebuild my laptop. I previously had FH V7 installed. I have re-installed V7, but it now wants to be activated. I have logged on to the FH website and it says that my laptop is active. It also says if I deactivate the laptop I cannot re-activate it on the same licence. So how do I proce...

The behaviour is consistent with RTF output. Plain text and PDF work fine, but I wanted to tidy up the output quite a bit before producing a final PDF file to send on. I noticed that I reported the font problem to CP earlier last year, but I will take some time to report these new and recurring issu...

Thanks, Mike, I will look to see if that expression does what i want, but I have a feeling it won't.

I have modified a number of standard sentence templates to start a new paragraph before the sentence. By and large this works ok, but where there are successive events of the same type, e.g. census or residence, this creates lots of blank lines. Is there any way to suppress the paragraph or new line...

My report, when viewed in FH is 466 pages in length. Save Reports As an RTF file and then accepting the option to view the report open up Word 2021 opens the report where the report is 193 pages long. I have now tried generating and saving an individual narrative report, and the sources and bibliogr...

Yes, they are with 7.0.15.

Image for witness issue - please axcuse spelling errors, they have now been corrected :) I think the font issue occurred in a previous version of FH, and had been corrected, but it seems to have crept back again. A fourth issue is that whilst PDF output of a narrative report includes sources and bib...

I have noted some anololies in Narrative report output to an RTF file that I wonder if anyone else hase seen and/or reported to Calico Pie. 1. If there are notes in a font other that automatic 8 point, then following their output subsequent text is in a much smaller font. 2. Tabs that are used to al...

Thanks, Mike.

If I have a child count of zero against an individual , haw do I amend the sentence template to say "... no children." rather than " ... 0 children."

Dates should have been 15 Feb. I will now return to the dark place under the stairs suitably embarrassed

Thanks, Nick. I suspected that our dear friends at Microsoft wouldn't make life easy, do they ever :roll: I remember trying the "Fit" option in a previous relrease of AS, but I stopped using it for reasons which I now forget, but I will revisit it as I have some further tweaks to templates that I ne...

I'm not sure if this has ben covered before. I'm using FH 7.0.15. I have just been adding military history for someone who served for two periods, first in and then after WWI. I had entered the second period of history first, then started on the earlier period. I now want to re-order the events/attr...

Thanks, Mike. I will download that version now and give it a try.

Slightly off-topic, I have amended most of the templates to fine tune the column width as far as possible, but I find that even so, I'm usually left with columns having lots of white space at the right hand side. As a result, after every entry I have to change the column widths manually - both time-...

Would it be possible to add a horizontal scroll bar the the Text box on the main form? Currently it is necessary to click on the blue Text control first to be able to scroll left and right to see all the text, and if necessary, adjust the column widths. I'm using V7.4.4

Thanks, Jane, 4968 fields deleted

I'm about to try out the new AS verson and add new empty row, but may I suggest taking things a small step further, and having an Add Unrelated Person option that pops up a form to add the person's census details and, on confirming the entry, populates the next row with the appropriate details, offe...

I have about 20000 individuals in my tree, a significant proportion of which have custom ids. The ids fall into three categories: 1. Those that are the same as the record id 2. Those that start with the letter D 3. Those that start with the letters BS I would like to delete all the custom id fields ...

I have noticed on several occasions that when I drag several images (more than 4) onto the media tab of a source that I am creating, FH sequences (preferences) them in a different order to that in which I (a) have numbered the images, and (b) that I have selected them. For example, images labelled P...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have started to compile the project desription in the Header record, and as suggested, also made a cross-reference via a note record too. It is a shame that the File Decription cannot use formatting
