Terry,
Thanks for your comments. I had initially tried this method of
changing the alignment of text but I think I had accidentally selected a
non-text component because I didn't get the text alignment option.
However doing it again all worked well, although I really wish there was
a simple global text selection option as it took me 10 minutes selecting
the individual text components whilst holding my finger on the Ctrl (not
shift) button. (Holding the shift button isn't helpful here because it

Rae Jean,
I have indeed read those messages and my response was based on the way I
thought you were interpreting the words "display problem."
If you view a relationship tag, you will see that it is called Father-Nat
or Mother-Nat and not Son-Nat or Dau-Nat. (another bug -- one I never
noticed before.) Also, the surety is in the "1" slot, whi

I suspect that Wholly Genes does not have any additional Timelines
Display problem... guess that means it is/was a display problem -- but
where?
As Astrid and Richard noted, in TMG we (or I should say I) entered a surety
number in slot P1 when citing that then is displayed in slot P1 for both
mother/father and child. What I should have done is enter a surety in
P1(mother/father) and P2 (child)... but on the "Add a Person" screen you can
only add a surety number in the P1 and M slots -- P2, D and P are blanked
out.
Since I can't edit in FTST, the "Add a Person" screen is
I have done a repair and it did not help.
Tech support is working on it now.
I'll report the results

I believe that this bug was noted earlier when FTST first came out. I am
confident that BV won't release TMG 5.0 until this is fixed.

Before I get started I should explain that I am a total idiot when it

question is this: Are there some options in FTST that actually require
TMG to work? For example, the Research Log. If I understand my

I was using v1.1 of FTST.
To try to correct this problem I just uninstalled FTST.
Then reinstalled v1.0 and every thing shows correctly but! when I then
upgrade back to v1.1 then some of my 2nd marriages do not show in the
family and tree views. I even did this twice with a new download of the v1.1
upgrade to be sure I did not have a corrupted copy of the upgrade.
Must be a bug in v1.1
I will report it to FTST tech support.

You're welcome. Actually, it's logical to assume that you would have to select only the text elements in order to apply text formatting, but in fact you don't have to. VCF gives access to the key text properties even when you select all the elements.

I don't know what kind of idiot thing I was doing but it is now clear
to me that making drop-down charts with centre-aligned text is both easy
and quick and my thanks to both for putting me straight.

As Steven says, of course the box is still there, even though it's a color that doesn't show against the background. The text has to be contained in something.
But if the left alignment isn't what you want, why don't you just change it to centered or right aligned? To do that select the box, right click, select detaile

Terry,
Thanks for your comments. However this configuration and the data
selection restriction it creates makes no sense to me. There is already
a 'birth-group*' dataset option which can serve the same purpose; the
linking of 'Birth*' and 'Baptism*' datasets to the birth group just
undermines their usefulness.
Now if I want to express BOTH birth and baptism information on a chart,
I have to make a new tag, eg: 'baptised', which is not part of the birth
group. Using John Cardinal's utility, such a ch

Here, Here! I DO use TMG and find the "wading" gets a little too deep from
time to time. So I seriously doubt that non-TMG'ers would ever stick w/ the
TMG list just to get a few FTST posts.
I daresay the minimal activity reflects well on Bob and the rest of the
Wholly Genes crew. I had some d

Nick,
It doesn't matter - go ahead and let it select them all. You can still access the necessary alignment options on the Properties screen as I described (below).

November and at the same time on TMG. It is very active but not one email

this question.

than create some nice charts, what else can I do? Also, if I make changes
