* Picture of Spouse in Narrative Support

[simonx]

I have a picture of my great-great-grandmother, but not her husband. I have linked her picture to her record. In the Descendants by Generation Narrative Report her picture appears beside the text about her husband, and not beside her details, which are on the next page. So I set the 'Spouse pictures' counter to zero, assuming she would be included in the 'Root/relative' category (she is, after all, a relative!). That got me no picture at all. Shouldn't FH treat her as a person in her own right, and not as an appendage of her husband?

Presumably you're doing descendants of one of his rather than her ancestors, in which context she is a spouse not a relative. You'd get it the other way round if you started with her ancestor. That seems reasonable to me.

I have pictures set to Above rather than Beside the text because that's the only way that works if you save as HTML or RTF, but what annoys me about that is that they come before the introductory paragraph, so appear at a glance to belong to the person above. I spend a lot of time in Word fiddling with my RTF narrative reports to put the pictures After the first paragraph of the person they apply to. I thought I'd put something about this on the wish list years ago but don't seem to be able to find it.

Thanks, Chris.  I understand the problem (working as designed and not a bug) but I am confused as to what 'Root/relative' means. My ancestor appears not to be a relative!

Like you I spend time on the RTF narrative document moving pictures and doing other reformatting, some that FH should be doing and some that it can't be expected to do.[center][/center][left][/left][right][/right][left][/left]

I take it to mean relative of the person you're doing the descendants of, which doesn't include their spouses and in-laws, even though those are your relatives.
