At last the problem has been resolved. The issue was a Windows permissions one. Many thanks to all who have offered help, and I am a happy bunny again. THANK YOU!!

Dear Jane,
As far as I remember, I had upgraded to Win 10 before I purchased FH and had no problems until updating FH to V6.2.4. Where do you suggest we go from here? (incidentally, I am a HE, not a SHE)

Further to my post of 27th March saying that I had successfully resolved the issue by re-installing FH upgrade V6.2.4 as Administrator. The new entry was saved successfully without problem. However, I have just attempted to make another entry and found that the same error has occurred again. I am to...

Success at last. I have now run the upgrade as administrator and everything is OK now. Many thanks to all who have been patient in helping me rectify the problem.
Regards,
billygee.

I am using Windows 10. When installing V6.2.4 via http://www.family-historian.co.uk/downloads/latest-free-upgrade I right clicked the .exe file which appeared at the bottom of the screen to install as administrator as you advised, but the only options available were, Open. Always open files of this ...

I am unable to copy and paste or attach the failed notice but the complete notice says "Failed to generate temporary in folder C:\users\Bill\documents\Family Historian projects\gricetree\gricetree.fh_data. access denied." How do I install as administrator? I just get an .exe file to activate there i...

I was informed from within the program that an upgrade was available so I upgraded to 6.2. I haven't had any problems of this nature before, although it is quite a while since I made any new entries. I have just re-installed 6.2 again, but with the same results.

I have just upgraded to Version 6.2 and entered details of a new sibling. However when I tried to save the entry I get the message "Failed to generate Temp File Folder" Why is this, and can you please help?

EUREKA. At last, after a very long slog we've got there. Thanks to your expertise, time, and patience I have finally got the Font type and size that I wanted. I found that centralizing the text didn't look right so I changed it to Justified which is much better. The icing on the cake would have been...

Hi Mike, I have created a picture of the crest with a plain border to the left and right, full page width, but I'm still having a problem with the end product which now shows the text under the picture full page width, and centralized as required, but above the picture and to the left is the text Th...

I will try to do this in Photoshop, but what I can't understand is that in the first instance everything was OK except it showed the word NOTE and the text wasn't centralized

Mike, I am having problems with your latest instructions, In the Report Options/Pictures Tab, I have increased the picture size to fill the screen as you suggested, which also increases the text. What I am trying to achieve is to have a picture of normal size and the text the full page width. No mat...

Hi Mike, I have followed your instructions successfully. However, viewing the now edited book, the text below the Crest is showing to the right of the page. On the left of the page is the word Note, then quite a large space before the text begins to the right of the page. Is it possible to delete th...

Hi Mike, I am using Word 2002, but that is no longer an issue as I have now converted the file to .pdf. Regarding the other option you suggested. In a word, I haven't tried it, as you were not sure that it would work, so I took what I thought was the easier method. Easiest because I am still absorbi...

Hi William

Hi Mike, I have created the required page in M/S Word, but to save it in .pdf format I would have to pay a monthly subscription (not acceptable for a one off) I then tried to copy from Word and paste into a F,H Free Page The text pasted OK but not in the font style and size of the copy, and there do...

F.H Version 6 I am producing a book to be saved in PDF Format. Is a Free Page exactly as described? I would like to include a Free Page containing a picture of the family crest, and below it a description of the origin of the family name in the type and font size of my choice, is that possible? Many...

Many thanks to everyone for their help.

Hi Mike Thanks for your reply, but we have discussed the reason for printing a hard copy of the book before. Perhaps I have got it all wrong, but can you please tell me what is the advantage of saving the book as a PDF file, can I still print out a hard copy from a PDF file? Regarding the individual...

F.H. Version 6. I am creating a book to print out with Microsoft Word containing a series of Family Group Sheets. Can you please tell me how to delete the name under the photo of each individual. I have tried unchecking what I thought was the relevant box in Book Settings but without success. What a...

It would be great for newcomers to view more help videos.

I'm sorry you misunderstood my meaning when I said that I would like to see the end product on TV. Of course I meant via a DVD Player and not directly through a TV. As a relatively new user of F.H I find the terminology very difficult for a layman to follow. I thought that making a DVD was virtually...

Thanks for your reply. When I said default Title page I meant the title page as it is when moving it from left to right, I had hoped that it might be possible to import from Microsoft Word into this title page. So now the simple answer is to omit the title page, print the book, and add the title doc...

I have created a page in Microsoft Word showing a picture of a family crest and description of the family origin. Is it possible to import this into F.H. to replace the default Title Page when making a book, and/or DVD.
Thank you.

Thanks again Mike for all your help
