multimedia in reports

jsphillips · Post by **jsphillips** » 28 Aug 2011 11:07

I recently purchased the FH book. Very good. I was not aware that up to 6 photos could be inserted etc into reports.I have a folder of photos just with Family tree photos in as my default.
At the moment I have a photo in my Ascendant and Descendant trees no problem.
I have NOT ticked the boxes for excluding the multimedia from reports etc. I have indicated the priority order ok. How do I get to show the additional photos of each person in say the Individual summary and Family Group sheet ?? Or even any other report etc.
The photos DO appear in the Focus window ok though.
Thanks

Please see the recent Knowledge Base article on how to Make a Family Tree CD or Website which includes details of enhancing Pictures in reports in the Step 3 Choose Report Template section.

See http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id ... t_template.

Basically, in the Report Options on the Pictures tab increase each of the Max Pics settings.

Thanks have looked but I have done everything correct.
Pictures appear correctly in Ancestors Diagrams, Descendant Diagrams, and focus windows.
What I want to achieve is to view & print Individual Summaries with the preferred photos and all of the others that appear in the focus window.
The same with the Family Group.
This way I can show on the Individual summary those of the person as a child and upwards each photos as they get older.

Are you saying you get no pictures/photos in any Reports at all?
