Navigating on diagrams

Post by LeslieN » 19 Jul 2004 12:12

Having spent many years using other FH computer programs I am finding one aspect of Family Historian a little difficult. Navigating between individuals using 'Properties' is not easy because of the narrow picture it presents. Using 'Diagrams' is much better but on zooming out to see the bigger picture the text for the individual becomes too small to read.
In some programs if the cursor hovers over the individual box,the details of the individual are shown on the bottom bar. If Family Historian could do this it would be perfection.
sincerely,
Leslie Nichols

Don't forget if you 'pin' the properties dialogue you can click on the boxes on the diagram and the properties dialogue will follow you. You can reduce its size using the 'blind' icon.

Thank you Jane,
Pinning the Properties does help , but it is not as good as I suggested.
Very many thanks for your unstinting efforts to help the less bright of us,
Leslie
