Family Historian User Group

Well ... I ticked the wrong box somewhere during the installation of V4, and now I'm trying to reconstruct my report formats.

In the Family Group Sheet, there was a way to show the Record Heading on two lines, for example showing both partners, like this:
MILLER, John
SMITH, Anne

Now how do I get that line feed (between John and Smith) in the data reference?

TIA

The first picture below shows how it is now, the second how I want it - scanned from an older printout I had in my files.

The line in the Record Options Format tab, Heading, Record, Edit, in the current version looks like this:
%FAM.HUSB[1]>NAME[1]:SURNAME%, %FAM.HUSB[1]>NAME[1]:GIVEN_ALL% [FRN =RecordId(%FAM%)]

So how do I put in a line feed before the FRN entry?

I can't find it in the help tonight, if you have a backup of the appication data folder you could copy the old report with a new name to the custom folder

Hi Jane,

actually I don't think it is in the help, though it might be good to have it there.

But getting the old file out of the backup indeed was what I finally did, and the line defining the record header looks like this:

%FAM.HUSB>NAME[1]:SURNAME%, %FAM.HUSB>NAME[1]:GIVEN_ALL%n%FAM.WIFE>NAME[1]:SURNAME%, %FAM.WIFE>NAME[1]:GIVEN_ALL%n[FRN =RecordId(%FAM%)]

So the 'new line' keyword is 'n'. Hmmm ... I wonder if there are more like that, like for example putting something on the right margin instead of the left?

Thank you anyway for caring!

Sorry I cannot help you Sabine, but my family group sheet report looks slightly different from yours. The header shows both parents names on one line, but I would also like it to show the family ID#, how can I do this?
Thank you.

Beebee,

like this:
=RecordId(%FAM%)

As you can see in the scanned portions, I put it in square brackets and write FRN before that. To get that, the term should be:
[FRN =RecordId(%FAM%)]

It takes some effort to understand functions like =RecordId, but they are absolutely ingenious.

Sabine

Thank you Sabine, now I have it looking just how I want. I shall definitely look further into the functions and, hopefully, personalise things even further.

Beebee.
