Re: Saving Queries
I notice you are on v5, so not sure if it's the same, but in v7 you go to the Query button, then New Custom Query... at which point you name the query.
Once done, you can get back to it from the same Query button > All Custom Queries.... and your created query will be there to run.

Re: Questions about AS Keywords and User Templates
Gary,
By 'Role' in your last point, do you mean Occupation or have you added 'Role' to a custom template?
I've only used standard UK templates, and in Occupation I will simply add the one I am transcribing from the image I have downloaded.
Perhaps I misunderstand your meaning?

Re: Where does FH store its diagram icon files?
Mike; When I use file explorer to try to locate the "C:\ProgramData\CalicoPie\Family Historian" directory on the virtual windows 11 machine, I finally found the directory. Oddly; it seems to already have many of the typical icons that I thought we had to add. Did this change recently? [As...

Re: Unable to Save!
You say you back up to portable drive, but is your project also on that drive, or your main computer drive? If it's on the portable drive, it is possible it has gone to sleep temporarily, and wakes up when a save event happens. Remember, FH doing it's autosave, or you saving by pressing 'Save' on th...

Re: Why has my information gone public?
What is the scam though? FH does matches to FindMyPast and MyHeritage. If you don't have paid subscriptions to those sites, then they will ask you to pay to see the records, which is just the same as creating 'free' unsubscribed accounts on those websites, where you can search for records, but asked...

It is saving correctly as a PDF shown in the screenshot, but it is likely that Word is set as your PDF program. Perhaps Acrobat Reader has not been reinstalled? https://www.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/pdf-reader.html?mv=search&mv2=paidsearch&sdid=SGDJMC8N&ef_id=Cj0KCQiAwvKtBhDrARIsAJj-kTi-H-z5j...

Not an expert by any means, but that looks like it is showing past and present tense, and perhaps one should expect just one of those to show in the sentence, depending on their living status?
