Is there a way I can show a different tree on each of 3 monitors. (Will help in enormously in sorting out duplicate records.)
Currently, if I drag a window either left or right from my centre monitor it doesn't appear on the other one.
TIA

Re: Multiple Monitors
Your post doesn't make it clear what you are trying to do. What do you mean by:
"Currently, if I drag a window either left or right from my centre monitor it doesn't appear on the other one."
Which window are you trying to drag? How are your monitors setup? You could always print to pdf a tree and open that pdf up on one of the monitors.

Re: Multiple Monitors
Sorry, if the first post wasn't clear enough.
I have FH showing on my centre monitor and there are several tree diagrams (ancestor/descendant/etc) I have created and are shown on the left hand (tab column?) of the FH window. I can obviously display one chart/query/etc at a time on the centre monitor. But I'd like to be able to show other diagrams on my left and right monitors that are in the tab column.
Yes, I'm aware I can print to pdf but it is laborious and I've found printing to an A3 printer is better than that for what Im trying to achieve
It would just be the equivalent of dragging one of the tabbed screens in chrome/explorer/firefox/etc across to another monitor

Re: Multiple Monitors
Diagrams can't be shown in Floating windows so you can't drag them outside the main FH window.
You can have more than one copy of FH open, each using the same project, but would need to be careful only to update via one of them (and there's no visual indication that a project is open in more than one place).
Can you span the FH window over multiple monitors, and then use either the tile or cascade options un the Window menu item to arrange things as you wish (you can't preserve that working layout between sessions, alas. There's a Wish List item for that...)

Re: Multiple Monitors
Thanks Helen for the clarification,
Spanning the FH window across the three monitors seems the best available approach without the risk of having two instances of the FH data file open.
