| I have set up a hyperlink on several individuals, in a tree, where I want to go to a separately constructed tree. That works as I would expect. However, on a few individuals, I would like to have a 2nd hyperlink to a word file (a brief biography) on my hard drive. It sets up and is listed OK, but, I cannot figure out how to access it. I can only toggle between the 2 trees. I'll be grateful if someone cane help. Regards John

There are two ways I know of where you can link to an external file, such an MS doc. If you go to the hyperlink page and create an external hyperlink you can browse to the file and select it. The created hyperlink will then open that file in its associated program. (You probably got that far already)
Problem is that on a genogram you can only have one active hyperlink (as far as I know). So one option is to create a dummy copy of the individual, possibly linked visually with one of the Relationships, and put the external link there.
You could add the external hyperlink to the individual in the second tree and that would take priority. Problem here is you would loose the link back to the first tree.
Alternative option is to add the external link as a Source where again you can browse to a file and select it and it will open in its parent program. To access this you would have to go into Properties from the genogram - a less direct link

| Many thanks for that information. As I do not envisage there will be a need to have more than about 10 "sub-trees" I would be content if they were not hyper-linked to an individual in my main tree. Then, I would, then, access the "sub-trees" via their tabs (at the bottom of the screen). This would leave the hyper-link facility available for me to jump to my word documents etc. My question now is, how can I remove the hyper-links I have alredy created? Secondly, in my enthusiasm (I've only had GenoPro a couple of weeks) I've added family "branches", to my main tree, that it would have been much more logically created as "Sub-trees". Other than starting over, is there a method to rectify this situation? Best wishes John

If you highlight the individuals you want to move to a new GenoMap (either by holding down your left mouse button and encircling the relevant individuals; or by using one of the select options - ancestors, spouse, siblings, children, etc) and then right-click on one of the selected objects, one of the options is 'Move to GenoMap'. The pop-out menu will give you the option of any existing GenoMap or a New GenoMap.

| Thank you for that. I had hoped there would be a capability of that sort. I'll have a go at it in the morning and let you know how I get on. John

| I've now been sucessful in splitting off groups of individuals into separate trees, from my single, over complcated, tree. Thing are now much more under control. However, I haven't figured out how to delete the internal hyperlinks that I had set up. Other than, that is, by deleting the individual they were set up on, and then, creating the individual afresh. I'd be most grateful if someone can tell me, if it is possible to delete hyperlinks in a more straightforward manner. John

To access this you would have to go into Properties from the genogram - a less direct link THis is the first message I've attempted lving so bear with me if things I not clear. I have been seeking to learn all the places in the program where an external link URL can be placed that will allow the viewer to click. From all my reading it appears the ONLY anchor allowed is the individual on the Genogram. But your comment here suggests that clickable links can also reside somewhere in a SOURCE record. If that is so I can't figure it out, would appreciate knowing where else a CLICKABLE hyperlink can be entered into thsi system (i.e. like in a comments field even) Thanks for the help.

You can add a clickable reference in the Source page. Open the properties for an individual and select the Source tab. Create a name in the first field to identify it and then click the Edit button towards the bottom right of the menu. This opens the Source/Citation Properties menu and here you can add a Source File or URL. You can browse to a file on you PC and link to that. When you return to this menu the button Open URL will load that file into the associated program, so that an .xls file will load into Excel.
Alternatively you can paste an internet reference such as a link to a census page on Ancestry. This means that anyone accessing this link can see the original document - providing they can log-in.
problem with reports on the web; obviously links to a file on your own PC will not work but this is useful for your own records
