Re: [LegacyUG] Inbuilt Timelines - can they be printed?
As an edited PDF file – just the header information changed: [cid:image001.png@01D23E58.EE644AC0] Good enough for me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Inbuilt Timelines - can they be printed?
Sherry, Thanks for your help. Despite my examining at length (perhaps 20-30 minutes) both the CHM help and the PDF help that I purchased, I did not find any description of the Print function within Options for Timelines. But now that you have alluded to it, I do see the Print item hidden within the Options button and I am grateful for its discovery. As a guide – my original enquiry – it is entirely sufficient and I can create a PDF. I will possibly code my own parsing and printing, as its title is fixed to “Timeline List” for all timelines, and its spill-over of item text is annoying, as is the date formatting (eg, 1800-00-00), but with my PDF editing software it will be simple to change the generic title as an interim.

You don't need to do any of this stuff! It might be a little time consuming, but for each timeline you want a copy of, highlight it, click on Edit and in the Timeline Editor window, click on Options > Print. Most likely you're only interested in having some of the timelines printed out. This is explained in the Help file. I can't begin to tell you how many questions I've answered on how to do something when it's been right there.

Re: [LegacyUG] Inbuilt Timelines - can they be printed?
Ian, You shouldn't have to use code? You could put them into a Table by using the | character as a separator or search and replace to turn it into whatever you like.

The Short Description / Long Description and in fact all fields would require some formatting, else they look horrible in raw text form An alternative would be to add them to a dummy person called My Timeline, export as PDF, and edit that first line in the PDF output. I take the point about their content.
