I am trying to print the information in the Edit Individual box - the stuff that you used to print from the facts page, addresses, occupations etc - and I can't see how to do it. Have tried 'control + P', have looked at the booklet and even borrowed the official book from someone but to no avail. anyone got any ideas please. Thanks, Maz. XX

Hi Maz Which report (s) are you trying to print the data on? Peter

Hi Peter, this is harder to explain than it should be! You know where you go into 'edit individual' to add things like address, occupation, burial details etc?? On the previous version of FTM it wasn't a 'pop-up' type box, it took you to a whole screen called 'more about...' and you could select 'File', 'Print More About..' from the top toolbar. On the new version it takes you to an 'edit individual' pop-up style box and doesn't give you the option to print. Basically, I need an easy way to print all the 'facts' about an individual. Its driving me mad! Thanks in advance for any clues! Maz. XX

Maz Gotcha Just getting my Dinner - will have a look for you afterwards Peter

When you have the individual displayed in Family View, select one of the reports - then click CONTENT on the main menu. You can select a multitude of things to include in the report. Obviously decide on which report is relevant before augmenting its CONTENT .... hope this helps, dont have it on this PC, so cant do a 'dry run'

Maz, Just checked the help pages - unfortunately there is not a facility to just print an individual's notes. As Laird suggested you would have to select a report first, then decide what you want in it and print from there. Peter

Thanks chaps - can't understand why they have changed this grrrrrrr!!! Maz. XX

Hi Maz Just had a look.. The only way you can print, say the 'Notes' in the Edit button on the left, is to highlight, copy and paste...Just done it into Word. Hope that helps Mary

Ah, didn't think of that Mary, I'll have a go! Thanks for that! Maz. XX

grrrr - just tried it and it won't let you do it! You can print the 'notes' by doing ... File then Batch print Family View/Notes Have found the only way to print the General or Medical facts so far is to go to ... View then Reports then either Alternate Facts or Medical etc then you have to go to ... Contents then Individuals to Include then you can choose the person. So flamin' long-winded!!!! grrrrrrrrrr still! Thanks everyone for trying! I just like to keep a print of each 'direct' ancestor's facts with their Family Group Sheet for easy reference. Oh well!!
