Re: FH V7 on Crossover on Linux issues

Sounds like a Linux bug to me. I use Crossover on a Mac and drag and drop works fine.

Re: Moving from Family Tree Maker to Family Historian

FH stores my window layout settings fine. Can you post a screenshot of your layout that is not being saved? Do you have a project or are you just opening the gedcom from FTM?

I put the date in your case Q4 1871 in the 'Entry Date' field and Glasgow Vol 56 Page ddcd in the 'Text from Source' field. Have you tried this as I think that they will export as you wish?

Don't forget one of the save options in Word is 'Save as a web page' could you use that. From memory it creates an html file which you can embed in a php page.

Re: Questions relating to transitioning from RM9 to FH7

Relative to RM9, FH7 seems more Splitter oriented. However; like RM9, FH7 can accommodate both and I may actually use both styles to my advantage.
