Re: FGS and Narrative Reports within a Book
Response from Calico Pie as follows: Thank you for your email, we have passed it over to our development team for review. Source settings are for the whole book as you have discovered. In the meantime the work around is to insert the number of blank pages for the section you do not want sources on a...

Re: Books and Index
Hi I thought I might resurrect this thread as I am thinking of upgrading to version 7. I am currently still using version 6, but was wondering if the report index in version 7 still compiled entries the same way as I discovered back in 2017 for version 6. I did not receive any feedback from Calico P...

Re: FH7 Paragraphs missing in reports
Hi I understand about about the confidentially agreement between Beta testers and the publisher, but with reference to my comment previously in parenthesis (or if it was has not been actioned prior to release of V7) it is still surprising it seems to have slipped the net by the publisher and as such...

Re: FH7 Paragraphs missing in reports
I have yet to purchase version 7, but would add my comments to this thread as follows: I have customised many of my sentence templates for use in narrative reports and a lot have <br> (or in some instances <para>) at the beginning to force a new line. Nothing looks worse in a report than a mass of t...

Re: Names in Ancestor Narrative Reports
Hi Tatewise Many thanks for the possible solution. I tried replacing Exists(%FACT.DATE%) with DayNumber(%FACT.DATE%)>0 which worked, but then fell foul of dates which I have been editing (correcting?) with Julian dates i.e entered then appear with a [J] prefix in the Birth date field. I guess an add...

Re: Names in Ancestor Narrative Reports
Hi again Many thanks Tatewise for the heads up on the conditional sentence construction.

No matter how hard I tried the birth fact generated sentence would resolutely say ...

Names in Ancestor Narrative Reports
Hi When I produce an ancestor narrative report where I have a number of ancestors which do not have a birth or baptism, the section within the report for the individual concerned does not have a name after the number (see snips below from my numbers 139 and 141.) I am wondering what is the best way ...

Source Record Table
Hi When compiling a ‘Book’ within Family Historian which contains an Ancestors by Generation Report, I thought it would be a good idea to include the Census series code information such as HO 107/1012/12 which would appear at the end of the report (when linked by relevant citations) along with an im...

Re: "Ancestors by Generation" - NOT in narrative form?
Hi All I tend to agree that the default Narrative style of reports guilt into FH initially presented me with a block of text filling the page which was difficult to read. By placing a <br> in front of each Fact within the sentence template improved the appearance no end. However, the sentences gener...

It appears to suffer the same issues as when included in a Book as described previously. Consid...

Hi Following on from my previous postings with regard to diagram icons and attempting to show Marriage events in chronological order with respect to Census icons, I discovered an ancestor born in January 1891 who was Baptised in 1892.
