My comment about the 1939 Register was because many people treat it as a census when it is not. It was created to register those living in the country when war broke out. The register was subsequently use to register people on the NHS when it was created in 1948. The modern electoral rolls we see th...

1939 is an Electoral Roll not a census. I have access to lots of these in Ancestry. If there are living people the names are blanked out. Living people are determined by their ages. Those under 100 (living or not) are usually blanked out though not always (my brother and sisters names have been blan...

Save it as RTF file and when that has happened open it then save it again as a word file or PDF
I always save it as a Word file and edit it to suit e.g. make images larger especially census images

Victor

Go to edit on the top of FH and prompt 'undo' that will restore what you have deleted. Though I am not sure it works if you delete blocks. I have deleted a number of tiems and prompted undo several times going back to the first item I had deleted. All were restored

Mike
Have just done that. I was not aware of that on my profile.
I notice the profile asks for Facebook, Twitter etc. Do I need to add my details on there too?

I have just read your message I am using the latest FH version 7. I haven't got round to doing a narrative report since the upgrade. Might do one this coming week
I am not a fan of RTF

Victor

Mike I have only just read your message. It has been awhile since I did a narrative report. Not quite sure what is meant by tables. If it images of people I just move them to whereever I want them on the page (left, centre or right) make them bigger if need be by moving the corner of the image. If i...

I save my narrative reports in RTF format then save it again in Word doc which I use to arrange the images and place them where I want them to be

Victor

I downloaded the new version by prompting 'help' then 'check for updates' that closed FH then installed the latest version

Victor

What you can do is prompt the fact tab then from there prompt more fact types which will show a list of facts including divorce. Prompt that.
If divorce is nt listed prompt the add facts button

Victor

I have Family Tree Maker but FH is the one I always work on. I copy details from FH to FTM so that I can check names on Ancestry. I don't use EH or FMP
Victor

I have never bothered to save anything in PDF format. I always use RTF. That way it gives page numbering and I can enlarge the images to how I want them. I also end up with a contents page
Victor

When I have a view on my computer no matter what I am looking at whether it is F, or ancestry web page on my key board I press Windows + shift + S and with my mouse I cover the area I want to save. If it going to be added to a FH name I do this by opening the media ikon at the location then open the...

I have never had a problem with dates. Mine always come as say 1 May 2021. I think it comes down to how you set up FH under some kind of options and you chose how you like the dates to appear as default. So if you select May 1 2021 that is how it appears. so if you type 1 May 2021 it won't be recogn...

I rotate all census images andafter doing a narrative report, saving in RTF then again in Word and use my cursor to make image larger covering a full page A4 thus making them readable.

Victor

Mike As you say I can use AS Data Entry. Trouble I have this is described as version 5 and have not been able to update it to version 7.2.7 which I have as an ikon on my task bar. Prompting the task bar version a message keeps poping up saying FH has been changed outside AS and asks if I want to con...

I have downloaded the latest version but it has not ended as a plug in. Instead it is an ikon on my desk top and I prompt everytime I want to use it. It is fixed to my task bar. When I prompt it I have to add the name I am using. When I used the plug in it went direct using the name I was on in FH. ...

When you prompt print screen button it covers the whole screen and you need to edit it to show just what you want to add. When you use windows key+shift+ S you use the cursor to cover just the area you want to save. No further editing needed unless there is an area outside the screen you want to add...

On the keyboard I prompt the windows button +shift+S and use the cursor to cover the whole area I want printed. Unfortunately it can only be done on what is visible on the screen. If I want more than is shown on the screen I load the copy onto my photo software then add a bigger area to what had bee...

That would be for only recent baptisms but not from Parish records. I don't even know who attended mine but I have a certificate which listed my god parents. Parish records don't list these.

Victor

I have added witnesses to weddings via Ancestral Sources
Of all the baptism records I have come across I have never seen a list of witnesses

Victor

I have just been for a walk and gave some thought to your problem. When you are on FTM do any of the names have a green leave next to them? If not then that could mean the tree is not sync to ancestry. On the top right there is an ikon allowing you to sync to ancestry. Prompt this then your tree sho...

I am currently on FTM version 2019. Have always done this that way since I first had FTM before FH I have just done a test for a 1901 census. I opened the census image. On the top right there is a Save option. I opened this and chose download to computer and ignored ther shoebox option which I have ...

Yes I have FTM and it syncs with Ancestry. I download images from Ancestry opening them in my photo software (Corel) then from there save them into the appropriate folder in FH Projects. Then go to the name the image refers to and add it to that persons name
Victor

First I like to confirm FTM syncs with Ancestry.
When I download images from Ancestry I save them in FH Project file. Never FTM
FH is my default tree which I always work on. From time to time I copy the gedcom part to FTM and sync it to Ancestry
