Hi Lorna, no the 'individual multimedia report' downloaded from the knowledge base.
https://fhug.org.uk/kb/download/individ ... timedia-3/

Thanks Mike, I started off with the media report but despite having gone through all the options, I couldn't see how to get several photos (depending on size set) across the page, they all end up in separate rows and as separate 'sections' even when small size. I'm clearly missing something here (th...

Hi, is there a way of choosing photos to include in the 'individual multimedia report'? Apart from my parents and my siblings we have no family photos, so to break up my book, I've been adding snips of the BMD certificates (like you'd get from the GRO as a pdf) to my family group sheet reports in th...

Thanks Mike, I’ve been playing with various options and have changed the date to compact, which helps a lot. I’m in work at the moment but will look at the other options you give later on. Thanks

Adrian, thanks for adding those clips - my details of events are factual but very boring ….. eg Frank, aged 26, bachelor, civil servant, of address, father: John, schoolmaster, followed by the bride and then witnesses:…… priest:……
I am going to pinch your idea and write it more as a story, thanks

I had to have a quick look but having changed #3 to 2.5" i get this further down the report.... ps the actual image is much smaller than it looks

but I like the full date - oh well something will have to give

Cheers both, I've only just seen your posts sorry - have ticked the notify me button now - and am about to go to bed, but Adrian, I think you're right, I'll just have to play with the tabs and decide on the best format (though I get one that fits nicely only to find it's not as good for another fami...

I have a similar issue where for example the details of a burial (plot / who with, added in the 'note') appear on a new page, leaving only the cemetery name on the previous page. I have therefore either added some extra detail to or removed some text from one of the other entries to address the prob...

Probably a stupid question (sorry) and down to personal preference, but I'm looking for ideas about the 'place' in reports (particularly the 'Family Group Sheet' which I'm using in a book) as it appears in an awkward position if you want to add a photo on the right of the text. Currently my solution...

Lorna, amazing to see 73 people have viewed your ‘families’ clip.

Thanks both, very enlightening. This is one of two very complicated branches on our tree, though the other is very definitely one man who - for reasons unknown - went by a different surname (along with his family) on the 1881 and 1891 censuses, yet all the births, baptisms etc were recorded correctl...

Thanks Mike, i do have a backup saved (several), but will take care. Essentially i guess it’s more important that he is shown as the father of Joseph but i’ll see what happens.

Thanks Lorna, will do. Only have the marriage, 1911, death, burial and probate, so easy enough to add back in. When i get to write up my ‘book’ i’ll add a narrative section just on this mystery.

Thanks both, (yes Lorna, that’s correct). It is very confusing and i hoped to just give the bare bones of the mystery to illustrate the query. I have all the available / found certificates. Sadly i know nothing about Samuel or William pre the children’s baptisms on the isle of Man (1865-1875) nor ca...

Hi, before i do anything which confuses my tree, I’d appreciate some advice please. Over the last few days i’ve become fairly convinced that one of my husband’s 3* great grandfathers married one of his 3* great grandmothers (both widowed, both on the maternal side of his tree, but not a ‘pair’). Not...

Mike, that's brilliant, just what I wanted to do. Downloaded 5 minutes ago but I've already added the first few to my book and managed to get the places following each other rather than on the the same page. Thanks so much.

Apologies Jane and Mike, the notification of a new post email went to junk. Never heard of lua reports but thanks for the plugin Mike, i will certainly look at this later, it sounds just what i want.

Thanks Mike

Thanks both for all the help today. i’ll see how it goes as my book grows.

I've tried your alternative version Lorna and while it doesn't list all the people linked to the places, it adds the file name, and the 'text', 'media record', 'annotation' and 'Use note as caption' fields which is slightly annoying. Not - so far - found a way to exclude that....... ideally i want t...

No, but you can still add a Link to Detail frame which is the same feature but for documents, etc.

Thanks - sorted now (I wasn't seeing the 'edit media' option).

No faces on my maps

In my places report, i get the place name in full, and can add the name of the image if i want to, but that then repeats most the of the info which looks silly, so i have left it as the default.

Thanks a lot Lorna, i will try that as soon as my laptop wakes up.

Not a problem, thanks for your help. I may either create the full places report as a separate book, or do as i did in v6 and create an info page in word, add images, and save as an image then add to the book that way. Bit of a hassle if you want to edit anything, but it works.
