Re: Change Any Fact Tag plug-in

I can do that. some of the undefined facts appear as both "event" and attribute." How should I deal with those?

Re: Change Any Fact Tag plug-in

Dear Mike, Conversion to the standard fact is exactly what I want for "residence." Unfortunately both my residence and residence (fam) events show up just as undefined "residence" in the FH7 fact types list. If I define one of them, FH7 creates a new undefined residence. The created version, which I...

Change Any Fact Tag plug-in

Following my data files conversion from RootsMagic to FH7 I have a great many events/attributes (thousands of undefined "Residence" tags for example) which remain undefined. I've been attempting to resolve them using the Change Any Fact Tag plug-in, but the <UDF Tags> list never shows up. I'm probab...

Re: Export GEDCOM plug in problems

Thank you, and thanks to Mike Tate. I have the plug-in working now and I've turned to fixing the data oddities which resulted from my conversion from RootsMagic. The issue that I think will be the most difficult is finding a way to output FH7 sentences with the place names pared down to just the fir...

Re: Export GEDCOM plug in problems

All but a dozen of my UDFs are _UID and _AMTID. Is there any reason not to delete them all? What would be the best way to do that? I'm learning the innards of Family Historian too slowly I fear; although I bought and tried version FH6, I never really used it. I'm preferring FH7 to what I've seen of ...

Re: Export GEDCOM plug in problems

Dear Mike, Mea Culpa . I didn't read the checklist. I am using FH 7.0. I've never before used the Export Gedcom plug-in. My FH7 file began as an imported GEDCOM from RootsMagic 7. It passes the FH7 validation and media link tests, but there are more than 7500 UDFs. I'm going to see what I can do to ...

Export GEDCOM plug in problems

I'm trying to run Version 4 of the Export GEDCOM plug in FH7. I've set the plug-in for GST & UTF 8. The plug in locks up at "Analysing input Gedcom SOUR 156" These errors are reported before the lock-up: [string "C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Pl..."]:6552: attempt to index a nil value (...

Re: Italics, bold & underlining

Thank you, Mike and Nick. I'm happy to see that I'm not the only user who needs these — by now standard, I should think — formatting features.

All good wishes.

Re: Italics, bold & underlining

Any news about the date on which text formatting will be available in a new release or version upgrade? Even an encouraging rumor would be helpful.

Re: Italics, bold & underlining

Thank you, Mike. It's a showstopper for me; I've got a lot of ship names and a few book titles that should be italicized. I'll vote, but I'll have to hold off on my final conversion (from TMG) until that's fixed.

Thanks again and all good wishes.

Italics, bold & underlining

Is it possible to use text attributes like italics, bold and underlining in notes and sentence templates?

All suggestions gratefully received.
