Decision Time

There are two final questions that I would like to ask.
a) In the facts Tab for eg Baptism; if I enter St. Luke's Church in the "place" section and Pitsea, Essex in the "address" section only the Baptism, Date & Place is shown in the diagram box. How can I ensure that the "address" is also shown in the box ?
b) Although I am conversant with the copy and paste commands from the edit on the toolbar; if there is a window open, say for the "edit text scheme", I cannot paste. All I get is a raspberry - how can I paste something to the template?
Thank you for your time
Ron

a) How can I ensure that the "address" is also shown in the box ?
In the
Baptism Template there are data references for each field to be shown:
e.g.
%INDI.BAPM.DATE% for the
Date or with qualifier
%INDI.BAPM.DATE:COMPACT%
%INDI.BAPM.PLAC% for the
Place or with qualifier
%INDI.BAPM[1+].PLAC:TIDY%
To include the
Address field you must include the
%INDI.BAPM.ADDR% data reference.
You can type this in to the
Template.
Or you can place the cursor in the
Template where you want the
Address to appear.
Then click the
<< Insert button on right to open the
Data Reference Assistant.
Then click on the
[+] signs against appropriate items.
In this case
Individual - Events - Baptism, then select
Address and click
Insert.

b) How can I paste something to the template?
Unfortunately the FH
Edit Copy and Paste only work between fields within FH.
You need to master the standard Windows
Copy & Paste techniques.
(1) Using mouse only:
Select the text to be copied such that it is highlighted with blue background.
Right-click your mouse and from menu select
Copy to clipboard.
Select the text to be replaced such that it is highlighted with blue background.
Right-click your mouse and from menu select
Paste from clipboard.
(2) Using keyboard shortcuts:
With this method
Ctrl+X means you hold down the
Ctrl key while clicking the
X letter key.
Select the text to be copied such that it is highlighted with blue background.
If it is an entire field you can use
Ctrl+A.
Use
Ctrl+C to copy to clipboard.
Select the text to be replaced such that it is highlighted with blue background.
If it is an entire field such as
Template you can use
Ctrl+A.
Use
Ctrl+V to copy from clipboard.

Mike has answered your question, but one comment, the more "normal" way to use Place and Address is to record the Village, Town in the Place field and the Church / House name and street in the Address.

Thank you for your help Jane & Mike. The reason that I have been so long answering is because I made such a hash of my project that I deleted it and started again. It was not too bad, only three generations.
The template text you gave me for marriage Mike worked like a dream; it is easy when you know how. Could you please let me have the template for divorce so that I can copy and paste that.
Thank you both very much
Ron

It is EXACTLY the same as Marriage except every MARR is replaced by DIV
i.e.
=ExistsText(%INDI.FAMS[1+]>DIV%,"DIV") %INDI.FAMS[1+]>DIV.DATE:COMPACT% in %INDI.FAMS[1+]>DIV.PLAC:TIDY%

Thank you Mike. I thought that would be the answer and I have tried it; but unfortunately, with my eyesight I cannot always see where the "dots" are; I am so grateful for your assistance.
You will no doubt be pleased to know that you will not hear from me for the next ten days !!1 We are off to the West Country for a break and I shall be taking chapter two of "the book". I am starting again because I am not happy with what I have.
I shall undoubtedly contact FHUG on my return.
