Hello Mike

Now why didnt I think of that !!
All access seems to be restored.

Thank you very much for your patience, understanding and help

I looked through the KB articles but they just didnt seem to cover my issue.

Hello Mike Family Historian does not have access any Family Historian projects. Using Windows File Explorer, I do have access to the folder ...\Dropbox\Family Historian Projects\ and no it is not empty. All the project files are there but FH will not load them. The full path to the Documents folder ...

Hello Mike Sorry for the slow reply. I used the Backup facility that Dropbox offers - imagining that there would be a Restore facility if I needed it! It appears that I have moved my projects to Dropbox permanently. The File > Project Window > Location path refers to ...\Dropbox\Family Historian Pro...

I have used the dropbox backup feature and I now find that I do not have access to any of my Family Historian projects. I do not know what I have done wrong.
Please can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks David, I use Adobe Acrobat Reader as well. I have found a pdf to jpg converter that is suitable for my needs - I have a relative that died shortly before the end of the first world war and as an officer his details form part of a pdf file that I have downloaded. Thinking outside the box I wil...

I want to add a newspaper entry in pdf format as a piece of media. I can add the link to the appropriate file but FH cannot open the pdf file and just shows a pdf icon in the media viewing dialogue box. Is there anyway that I can view a pdf file as a piece of media in FH? Any advice would be gratefu...

FH is now behaving again. Apologies for wasting anyones thinking time!

Normal service is resumed ...... and I didnt have to do anything. Thats what I call a result

I am using FH6.2 and when the small green number appears next to an individual to let me know that, in this case, Find My Past has found a match that I need to confirm (or otherwise) I cannot open the Web Page. I click on the green number and another window opens as usual and the URL is populated wi...

Thanks Victor.

Seems like I might invest in the book for FH6 at some stage in the future

Thanks very much for your help and advice. I feel more confident about what I will need to do now.

In this case I am looking at using sources from (a) my wife, who has been using FH5 to research a different part of my tree with some small overlap; and (b) from a web based tree that may be completely different to mine in parts. I prefer using a book for information as I can have it open at the sam...

So, would you recommend getting the FH V6 book?

In particular I am looking for details about merging/comparing files from different sources?

Thank you both very much for the help.
The confirmation about how the Tutorial files are handled is just what I wanted to read Mike.

Thanks. I have successfully downloaded the files and extracted them but I am getting the same message. Is there some part of FH that I need to set so that it knows where these files are? If I right click on the file that I want i can open it but I am not sure that that is the best way to deal with t...

I am following guidance from "Getting the most of Family Historian5" (even tho I have version 6!) but I have not got any Samples available to me. The only option that I have from the Project Window/More Tasks/Samples is to "Reset Sample Project". I have done this but I still cant access any samples....

Thanks very much for your help. Forcing the page breaks as suggested by LornaCraig works well. I have found useful info in the Knowledge Base as well. Thank you both.

Hello everyone I am using FH to create a book of info on a person that shows 11 generations of ancestors and I would like to put a page break into the document before each generation. I dont know if this is possible but I would really appreciate some guidance because I cant find any reference to it ...
