Hi

I thought I'd better start a fresh thread for this. I've read the Help pages for setting up a text scheme and it worked fine, but again, things aren't happening as described. I've attached a picture of the fields that I added to the Text Scheme. However, I want to remove one or maybe more of the fields. Now the Help pages tell me I can just select them and use the left pointing arrow to do this. However, as you can see, this can't happen because there is no left pointing arrow to do this.

Does this mean that such a thing doesn't exist, or is there something else I should have done, that's not mentioned in the Help pages?

Thanks for your patience.

To remove an item, select it in the right-hand list and click the X below.


I think it's a mistake in the Help files where it refers to the left pointing arrow. There are some other selection windows in FH where that works but this is not one of them. I can't remember, but perhaps the bit in the Help file is a hang-over from an earlier version of FH.

Rosemary, it is not clear from your screenshot whether you are editing a standard Text Scheme or a new one you created.
It is recommended that you do NOT edit any standard Text Scheme supplied with FH and keep them as references.
Instead, use the Clone... button to create a custom copy and then edit that copy.

Hi Mike, yes it was a new one I created, although I just clicked on NEW and not CLONE

Hi Lorna, OK, thanks. yes it does seem to work if you click on the cross.
