Report - Address in wrong place

Post by Johnyeates » 11 Feb 2015 15:39

I have just run a 'Family Group' report in V6 and the address is not put under the 'Place' but under the 'Date' (see attachment)
I can't find any options to correct the layout under 'Report Options'
Any ideas please.

I have also found that Address (as well as a couple of other elements) also appear under the Date - I am assuming this is by design as (I assumer) the Place element is considered the more important.

Didn't the Address always appear there?
I will check in the morning on FH V5.
There are no options to move it.

'Twas ever thus.

There is an option to display the address 'In Own Section' which then lists the Address (and Notes) for each Fact under the heading of 'Additional Information' but that appears to be that. (Report Options>Contents)

Cheers

I don't know if it was different in V5 as I haven't tried it since updating my 'Places/Address' which were in a right state.
As it doesn't seem to be possible do you think it should be on the wish list? and include notes as well under the Address, may be have the same layout for all Facts, rather than put notes etc under the Date.

The layout is already the same for all Facts - what makes you think it isn't?

The Address and local Notes per Fact are multi-line long text fields of virtually unlimited length, with each line up to 240 characters long. They currently fill the space under both Date and Place. If compressed into the narrower column under Place only, I think they would be less readable.
