Well,thank you for your replies,i am now more confused than ever,when i leave either FH or AS i don't control what the backup files are called,when I am asked to open a gedcom file in AS i go to Windows Explorer where my FH backups are kept and download the last file,the same file I use to open FH,r...

Can anyone help me with a problem which has appeared seemingly since i updated to include the Baptisms. This has happened on more than one occasion,but I put it down to operator error.

Hello tatewise,many thanks for your excellent instructions,using the second part of them I found .ged was showing the I tunes logo,I cahanged that to .zip and when I do the zip backup it enters with the zio logo.

Hello tatewise,thanks for your reply. After reading your instructions I played around with FH and found that the files that I have been deleting (with the I Tunes logo)I have been able to open by using the Open with/Restore,but a bit messy and long winded. I am using Vista 32bit,if you can advise me...

Hello Historians, Can anyone help me with an annoying problem. I am using Version 4.1.3 with Vista and am having trouble with saving a gedcom file. I usually go via File,Backup/restore and on the pop up I choose Backup then choose Gedcom file of the 2 offered. I then go back in and choose Zipfile to...

Hello Jane,and thanks for your reply. You ask what sentence template I am using,I am not using a sentence template,what you read on my examples are the truncated sentences. I have just unticked the box 'use short form........' and this appears to have solved the problem,many thanks. Without your hel...

Hello Historians Can anyone assist me in cracking a small but annoying problem in report printing, http://www.fhug.rjt.org.uk/images/uploads/Capture10b.JPG When I print a report based on Charles Cross the 1891 census appears in full,while in his wifes entry the sentence is cut. When I change it and ...

Hello Peter,many thanks for your interest in my problem,I did as you suggested and deleted the sentence,no difference,I then deleted the heading 'Sentence' and all got back to normal.The marriage appears as I expected and I have decided to add the sentence into Josephines write-up. Thanks again for ...

Hello Jane,and thank for the intruction,I think I have got it through now.

Just one more of the complexities of FH,why could it not say 'click to insert Image'?

As code and image do not at first appear to be the same thing.

Hello Folks,I am putting this through the forum as I need to attach descriptive bits. In capt1 is the entry of a first marriage for Josephine. In capt2 the report as FH prints it,no mention of marriage,only that Mr Turgis has signed the marr cert as witness. In cap3 is the sentence I have inserted,a...

Hi Jane ,thanks for that I'll try that out.What I am looking for I suppose,is that a report should read more like a book than a list of census dates etc.

Thank you Nick for your reply which I have checked out as you suggested,and I see exactly what you are saying. I did press the installation box which I assume puts all back to the starting position,but this seems to be the standard with this box set to 'Crossed out',though how FH manages to consider...

Hello folks,can someone answer me a question please. Diagrams,family trees,when printed off I have found on some of the entries the normal marriage sign = bisected by a left to right slanting line. This is new to me and not seen on earlier version of FH,I am using 4.something,can anyone explain plea...
