Caryl, if you are describing a single parent with children then you cannot in general eliminate the blank box that represents the other parent who must have existed. If you are describing a person with no children and no spouse then use the technique in the FHUG Knowledge Base "Removing Unwanted Relations": http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:removing_unwanted_relations The single parent with child scenario is fully discussed in the FHUG posting "To not have blank or 'unknown' boxes in diagrams": http://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=6181 Regards, Mike Tate -----Original Message----- Subject: [FHU] Delete a box Hi I know this has come up before, but how do you delete an empty box from a diagram. I unlinked it from the spouse then deleted, but when I looked the empty box was still in the diagram. Thanks Caryl
Thanks Mike - I managed to get rid of the box Caryl -----Original Message----- From: family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:family-historian-users-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Beryl & Mike Tate via Sent: 07 November 2015 22:16 To: family-historian-users@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FHU] Delete a box Caryl, if you are describing a single parent with children then you cannot in general eliminate the blank box that represents the other parent who must have existed.
