Quick reply from my phone just seen your or last post which obviously crossed mine so will try again later cheers

Mike, just done a quick test, I don't know if I am having a senior moment, but it does not seem to do anything with the | (bar) . I have tested with a freshly copied project, just 1 very basic individual with lots of census sources, and the only file that changed after the plugin run was _contact.ht...

Mike, yes the old FH plain text | (bar) separated tables that I understand as "simulated" tables, and for me especially when used with a monospaced font. I have a lot of that!
Will report back on that soon. Off to the physio now.

nothing, it was only formatted with | (bar) separated, not the new FHv7 Rich formatted, which from your earlier post I got the impression could be used within the new FHv7 tables etc, I have none of that.

Mike, thanks, it might be a day or 2 before I get chance to test. My database is limited (simple?) with no formatted text, so if anyone else wants to test it as well, feel free.

I'm not sure if this will address your problem, but may give some food for thought. As far as I can work out, I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, within FH identical PLACe records are reused, yet an ADDRess record is not. You may note there is no query type for ADDResses or Tab in the re...

Custom Facts are great, standard Gedcom and are very portable between products, even Ancestry trees. I have quite a few, not limited to, for things like DNA match recording, various kinds of notes, surety, name information. One that might interest you is my Note_Common_Source where I create a fact f...

I would record them "somehow" as it could help any of the descendants trace their roots. With respect to helping other genealogists I suspect unrelated individuals is the obvious way to go, but how to link them. The previous suggestions are food for thought, but probably connected by a shared "Sourc...

Mike, these are my results. I cannot remember if it worked better before or was just the same. - Wide screen is good, although by expanding to the full width, creates some big horizontal spaces, especially on smaller width records. fhugwed-01.jpg - Medium width screen - no wasted space, but wrapped ...

The PLACe value is usually included by default or by using the {place} code so why would an indicator be necessary? Yes, I often use the {_place} in the Advanced Summary template, but the box is often not wide enough to includel the detail, especially if using FH on just 1 screen. Additionally a ma...

At the start of each Summary Template use something similar to the following expression: {=TextIf(Exists(%FACT.SOUR%),"+","-")} you can choose whatever text indicators you prefer. Yes, works a treat, I suppose it could be extended for other items like PLACe. Certainly worth adding to the wish list ...

For recording DNA matches, I would recommend taking a look at Jane's GEDmatch custom fact and query. There was a long discussion of this and similar here 20372|How to document DNA connections with FHv7 I have since amended my "system" slightly with the attachments below. As you will note from the a...

Is it possible to use a separator other than a comma to separate elements of places and addresses? I use a strict comma separated fields for PLACes, for similar reasons to Mike. I use ; (semicolon) as my own separator within a field and can be used as many times as required without upsetting the co...

Just tested custom with various, as you say it seems to need specific, so <> or <web> did not work, but <row> would.

The Rich Text Tabulation plugin is now available ....... Just tested this; observations: [1] If you enter just < in Custom Tag it does not take. I notice other invalid Rich Text items e.g. bbb do not take. I was thinking that < would be a good catch all , BUT see [2] below. However I think an allow...

Mike, absolutely no urgency, I originally only noticed the feature by chance and thought that was very nice automatic "formatting", especially as "web type" pages seem to lose multiple "spaces". Should you need it testing on FHv7, just drop a copy on here as usual, although I no longer have FHv6 ins...

The 'result' is in the rich-text tab.

I have not set up for rich text, so I'm thinking that is why nothing showed in the rich-text tab for me.

I wonder what you mean by AS not giving a good response? OK, I removed all the "double spaces" leaving only "single spaces" and the result was perfect. So I don't know if you want to make your conversion cope with that kind of situation, not something I need for the present. (I changed the AS font ...

I wonder what you mean by AS not giving a good response?

Apologies bit rushed reply but as below. It might be that I have not studied the docs enough, this was my 2nd attempt. There are many added spaces which might upset things!

What is a little unexpected is that the Rich Text escape \ is included when copying from a plain text field. I was wondering if it is because FHv7 uses the | as part of its tables. I amended a | to a tab. It stayed as Unformatted text but copypaste to MSWord gave an underscore. So that might sugges...

Mike, apologies for my definitions, I was getting mixed up as the ctrl+alt+doubleclick gives the Rich Text Tick box ! However, I am pretty certain that it is unformatted text, the images below show the same data. With these copy/paste to MSWord results (I've added FH V7 "Rich Text" editor) - copy pa...

Mike or anyone else interested, an observation: I am sure you understand this better than me and of no great import: Just out of curiosity I was experimenting converting my | bar separated data. For me AS did not give a very good response so I thought I would try via MSWord. - copy paste from a Sour...

It looks like the plugin does not cope with rich text format that contains Bar | separated text, or any other kind of separator. Sorry Mike, I said there was NO Rich Text , just unformatted text carried over from FHv6. I did check to make sure no formatted text had been created "inadvertently". In ...

Plugin-Improve Website or CD DVD HTML It is a while since I used this, probably FHv6, but when I did I am sure when data on the same line was separated by | (bar) , it created a "table" effect "aligned columns". Perhaps a different method is required for FHv7 but I think I followed the help Select a...

Has anybody reported that to CP?

I have reported a few CLAF (Common Look And Feel) and inconsistency issues in the past, I do not remember any being fixed, but I think it is worth reminding CP. I do not think CLAF or EOU (Ease Of Use) are high on CP agenda.
