V4 nbsp;- upside down text

I just stumbled across the 'upside down' font problem. Switching to 16-bit temporarily fixed the problem. Downloading the patch (thanks, Calico) enabled me to switch back to 32-bit and NOT incur the font problem again.

Import: nbsp;Multimedia Objects as Separate Recor

Jane, Thanks for the link to the utility.  It's probably something I'm doing wrong, but when I run the program the command prompt window opens, invokes IrfanView and, then, hangs there until I close IrfanView.  Closing IrfanView lets the batch file proceed to the next step.  The funny thing is that ...

Import: Multimedia Objects as Separate Record

Disclosure: I imported my data from another genealogy program into Family Historian after, first, converting it to the GEDCOM format. My problem concerns links to multimedia objects.
