Size of text and windows

Post by peterjay » 26 Feb 2016 13:53

I have required a different PC Win 7 professional, and have had to reinstall my Family Historian 2.1 and this I have done.
But I do have a couple of problems as follows, the text is small and I cannot get the windows to stay at maximum size.
Last time this happened to me I can remember having to download an update to make the text larger but cannot remember what and how, if anyone can help me it will be appreciated.
Many thanks.

The only upgrade available for FH V2 is the free fhugdownloads:contents:family_historian_2.3.5_upgrade|> Family Historian Version 2.3.5 Upgrade.

Few, if any, will remember the settings for that 10 year old program.
Check the Tools > Preferences for text font size options (if there are any).
I suspect that old version does not remember window sizes & positions in the way recent versions do.

Why not fork out £36 and get the latest FH V6 with all the bells and whistles, font settings, and preserved window sizes, etc?

BTW: This is your first posting since joining in 2014, so where might you have got the earlier download advice?
