Advice sought on emailing diagrams/narratives

jenninorris · Post by **jenninorris** » 04 Nov 2006 00:34

I am using FH 2.1. I have a relative in the UK who is very keen to see diagrams and narratives I have created on our shared ancestry. Can anyone advise me on how to send this information via email to him? I can't work out how to save the reports as attachments outside of FH and the tutorials don't appear to cover this. Help! Cheers from Wellington, New Zealand

Install a PDF writer and print the diagram to a PDF file and send that to your relative.

See this Knowledge Base Wiki Article about this: look up PDF Creators in the index.

Here is a quick link
[wiki]aboutOther_nonfh_software:pdf_creators[/wiki]

You can also once a report is shown on the screen use the Save As button to save a report to RTF which any PC can open and diagrams can be saved to jpg, or WMF format, but as Nick says most people find using a PDF creator easier.

Hi all: I have tried saving reports as .rtf and .pdf, but is there any way of saving them that shows more than one generation per page? The report that you view in FH doesn't do this...

Jocelyin - which report are you using?

Incidentally, if you're on version 2.1, I would strongly recommend that you download a free upgrade to version 2.3 from http://www.family-historian.co.uk/downloads. There were a lot of enhancements in 2.2 and 2.3 so it's well worth doing.

Hi Simon: this happens with both Ancestors and Descendants narrative reports...somehow it puts itself into a template with headers and footers in a paler font. Still says it's an .rtf document though.

I have v3 and the OS is Windows NT. It's my work computer - my home one has XP and that works just fine! Obviously noone else has this problem as noone else has replied...so it doesn't matter that much.

Hi Jocelyn,
Looking on FH Website under System Requirements, states that FH(v3) will not run under NT4 or earlier versions of NT.
I normally take this to mean that it may well run but certain bits may not work as expected and the Software Company will not fix any problems which only appear with an unsupported OS.

Tim.

Ah, that'll be it then - thanks, Tim!
