I've noticed a problem with all the Report types I've used so far, and also a Book: when saved as PDF, every page consists of a single graphic image, with no searchable text. This explains two problems mentioned elsewhere: much larger file sizes, and much longer times. Printing to a PDF printer is n...

Would it not be enough for a transcript of the certificate to show the married names?

Alt T Q will only find the Quick Family Facts plugin if that plugin has been added to the Tools menu. There is a tick-box for this if you click More >> on the Plugins window.

A workaround that seems to work OK is to insert a non-printing character before the <para> or <br>. I've used zero width joiner by entering "U+200d" via AutoHotkey. Alternatively, you can use copy and paste from Zero Width Joiner.

AutoHotkey is explained in the Knowledge Base: AutoHotkey

There is: Notes on Upgrading to Version 7

The GEDCOM 5.5 Standard definition: CAUSE_OF_EVENT: = {Size=1:90} Used in special cases to record the reasons which precipitated an event. Normally this will be used subordinate to a death event to show cause of death, such as might be listed on a death certificate. It is valid for any Event , but n...

The definition in the GEDCOM 5.5 Standard is quite unambiguous:

ENTRY_RECORDING_DATE: = {Size=1:90}
<DATE_VALUE>
The date that this event data was entered into the original source document.

There is a lot of information and advice via this link: glossary:places|> Places and Addresses.

Same here!

This is the earlier thread from October 2019: GEDCOM 5.5.5! (17121)
Nothing has changed since then.

You might find some help here: how_to:v4:adding_multimedia#photo_orientation|> Photo Orientation

I was able to download that video (in four different formats, including mp4) using WinX YouTube Downloader.

If you search FH Help for "dots", one of the Topics is the (relevant) "Property Box: Facts tab" which includes:

blue dots for Individual records and red dots for Family records

I find I can solve all such problems by using the free IrfanView; it can rotate images, either singly or as a batch, and can optionally correct the EXIF data.

And I never have any problems running FH v6.2.7 with AVG AntiVirus Free on Windows 10 Pro version 2004. And my AVG has no exceptions for FH at all.

This is a GEDCOM limitation. The standard allows only a single line of up to 248 characters: SOURCE_CITATION: = [ n SOUR @<XREF:SOUR>@ /* pointer to source record */ {1:1} +1 PAGE <WHERE_WITHIN_SOURCE> {0: 1 } … WHERE_WITHIN_SOURCE: = {Size=1: 248 } Specific location with in the information referenc...

I've just checked my version of Ancestral Sources and it was v5.2.0 ; the Help menu Check for Updates… gave 'You already have the latest version of Ancestral Sources.' I've now used the link in the Knowledge Base to update to v5.3.0 . I've had a quick look for a post in FHUG about the update to v5.3...

The only way to cycle through the thee buttons seems to be to use the Tab key, or Shift+Tab to go the other way (not necessarily the way you expect, though!).

You can link media to any Source that is linked to the Note Record, but not to the Note Record itself.

Have you already seen how_to:creating_a_query|> Creating a Query?

The Preferences dialogue for the Focus Window (accessible via Customize View… ) has Max. Ancestor Generations (space permitting): but if you try to enter a value greater than 5 an error box tells you to “Enter an integer between 2 and 5.” Earlier versions of FH did not have the Focus Window, and man...

Storing images and family photos in folders within the FH Media folder would not prevent access by a user without FH software.
