* Family Group Sheet saved in rtf

The attached

Family Group Sheet (for Web, CD or DVD).rtf

(116.44 KiB) Downloaded 148 times

is a Family Group Sheet saved in rtf format that cannot be fully appended as normally in an rtf file.

I tried to reduce the report's pages from 4 to 1 for this post but could not completely. I cannot change the title or date. Adding or removing items is next to impossible.

• (1) Is there a way to save a Family Group Sheet in an rtf format without the cells and with complete freedom to append?

Apparently all the cells are not like they should be as exemplified in the yellow highlight with the Additional Info for Events/Attributes Note text not directly in line with the other Fact elements.

• (2) Is there a way to keep Notes in line with their other Fact elements?

Larry,

As for #1, the title and date are in a header and can only be edited by editing the header. In Office 2007 this can be done by right clicking on the title and selecting Edit Header. Not sure about other versions of Office.

(Title & Date)
As Bill says, the title & date are in the Header.
The page number and "Produced by Family Historian" are in the Footer.
In MS Word you use the Insert tab and click the Header or Footer dropdown and choose the Edit option at the bottom.
That is an absolutely standard Word processor feature, because the Header/Footer are not per page but document wide.
If you want different Header/Footer details, they can be changed in the FH Report > Options > Page Layout tab.

(1 Cells)
As far as I know, table cells are the best way to achieve tabulated columns with horizontally aligned sections. Larry, do you know another way of achieving that?

(1 Append)
I am not sure what you mean by full freedom to append.

(2)
The Facts are presented in three columns:
Column 1 holds the Fact Name
Column 2 holds the Date and (Age) fields
Column 3 holds any Attribute value ending in semicolon; and the Place field
Below and spanning Columns 2 & 3 is any text in the Note field
Check the Occupation you have highlighted: Column 2 text is the Occupation value, the lower text is the Note field.
It is presented that way because the Occupation value is usually quite short, and the Note text usually quite long.
(See the Birth and Baptism facts for clearer examples.)
