Mike, Thanks for your response. I've looked at where these characters originate and they come from two places. Formatted notes and citations or footnotes, etc.. In the short term (maybe long term) I c

Mike, I looked for for what to change the <b> to to get the formatting but I could not find it. I tried an FH export with formatted text and it appears that the formatting is dropped so should I be lo

I am exporting from Rootsmagic V7 to FamilyHistorian V7. Both allow some formatting of the note fields. The GEDCOM file from RM addresses the formatting by including the formatting codes as text. If I

Thank you. I knew it must be my fat fingers. Now it works correctly Any thoughts on the color coding?

Leslie. I followed your instructions for the shared witness but I did not get the same results. My fat fingers are probably at work but the changed lines are: 2 _SHAN Ordinary Person 3 ROLE witness I

I have had FH for about 18 months. Until a fix to V7 there was an error in the narrative code that prevented me from converting to FH. Now I have a slightly different issue. There are some that don’t

FH 7 fixed one of my import errors that I was fixing by editing the GEDCOM. I tried creating a new fact that was an event and the colon does not appear with that. Is there any practical use that I can

I have a question on the edit screen display. After an import I get varying results in the Person Edit Screen display. JUN 11, 1959 Childparent: John and Mary Jul 3, 1956 Medical: suffered a case of p

Thank you Mike. I'm sure CP will fix it at some point. In the meantime it is still a great tool

I have been using the text from source option in FH 7.0.3 and this is quite useful. Many of my census records are not the best quality so attaching an image is not as useful as I would like. This is a

I am trying to create a custom query so that I can look at the contents of particular fact from every person who has one. This has been disabled and I still get no output. There are facts with sources

Thanks to all for your responses. I will need to think about those empty death facts before I even consider deleting them. Beside having unsourced facts I'm not sure of the additional impact of keepin

Here are copies of two gedcom files I created in Rootsmagic. I am in the process of moving to FH but there is one glitch in FH that has been reported and passed to the developers that I need before co

I was intrigued by the topic on this site about facts without sources. I followed instructions and downloaded the correct query. I was surprised to find I had many facts without sources. Some were rea

Mike, I had noticed that all the references were from quite a while ago but thought I would look at this as a perhaps easier way to enter data. I had already created a customized probate record and a

I read with interest the ability to customize the property Box with new tabs. I found on FHUG a Wills tab and this is what I found (All from the FHUG Download Type: Property Box Tabs): Downloaded Enha

I too am using notes to input extensive data but I have not yet reached that limit. Just out of curiosity you say 5,000 words but how many characters is that? If you are using big words with spaces an

Mike, Thank you. Having been tangled up in GEDCOM and moving data from different platforms I will try to stay away from extensions. They do not transfer well if at all.

I was working on a new fact that I want to use but was unable to get just what I wanted. I noticed that the immigration fact type allows for two addresses. Is this possible in a user defined fact?

Mike it looks ok now. I did see Lorna's email and was able to download 7.0.1.3 and the sentence is now ok. I am also happy to see that the <para> and <br> are working as well as the formatted output i
