Family Historian User Group

It will not enable me to save the page/file to any other area except the virtual file.
Then it will not move to desktop or flash drive.
Is there anyone with vista who can give me detailed instructions ?  
I suspect security has something to do with it.

Thank you Jon & Treefrog for your replies. Jon - I have looked at the links, I am not computer literate enough to much sense ot it. Treefrog - I have done as you suggested but cannot make it work. When I do paste /copy it tells me the file is not there. In Jon's link it does say that paste /copy is ...

Thanks for your reply. I am not trying to save the page to family Historian but to another file so that I can email it to a friend. There is no size given to the virtual file which is perhaps why I get 'Invalid File' when trying to attach it to an email. I have tried to copy it from the virtual file...

I have a new computer installed with vista. Fam Hist all loaded - no problems. I have tried to save a page from Ancestry to my chosen file Documents /Ancestry only to be told it was saved in a virtual file. When I looked in Documents /Ancestry it was not there. Yet when I tried to email it to a frie...

Nick Many thanks for that, both versions worked just fine. I thought I should be able to do this. Jane - Apologies to you as you also suggested the Control+C method, but as that came up on the Edit menu against Copy and Control V against Paste, I just continued to try that and did not think of tryin...

It doesn't for me. No matter what I do the paste option is always inactive.
Thanks for trying to help.

Jane said: The only way I could get the note greyed out was not to select the person on the TO list after I switched to the TO list. It is not the note section that is greyed out. It is the Edit/ Paste option. It will not let me do the paste bit. Very frustrating, but never mind I shall just have t...

Sorry but this is what I have tried to do, but the paste option is greyed out.
It seems to be a straight forward copy & paste procedure, but I cannot get it to work.

Jane

Highlighted the person.
Clicked on to the note section

Sorry to be a pain !

I have a list named 'To do at Kew' with various people + items that I wish to research about them. It works fine. I now wish to move one of these people + all the notes I have made about the research to another list such as 'Work in progress'. Do I have to type all the info again in the new list or ...

Try using Monmouth* which will pick up Monmouth and Monmouthshire.
I do this regularly
York* finds Yorks and Yorkshire.
Similarly Fred* gets Fred, Freddie, Frederic, Frederick etc.
Remember the index reflects what was written (or what the transciber thought was written).

Helen I'm not sure what you mean but if the LDS have filmed the parish info you want then you can order the film /fiche. They have filmed far more than is available on the IGI. The basic details of baptisms  & marriages feature on the IGI but burial registers, cemetery records etc in some cases have...

Thanks Jane.
All sorted now.
A brilliant quick response as always.
Many thanks.

I regularly use my local LDS center in order to view P.Records + other data. It costs about £2.70 for a month (though you can have longer) and the films come usually in 2/3 weeks. Check out the Family History Library Catalogue on Fam Search Web site. Enter into 'Place' name of town /parish in which ...
