Hi Jean, did you "dot" one of the boxes for parents ?

ie...
Parents* Please select which couple are the parents

Good Morning Jean, :-)
I take it you have got as far as the Add child, Box Window, It should look something like this below...

________________________________________
[_Add Child_______________________________]

Forename [_________________________]
Surname* [_________________________]
Year of birth. [________] [ ] Tick if unsure
Year of death [________] [ ] Tick if unsure
Gender* (o) Male
.............. ( ) Female
Parents* ( ) John Smith and Ann Smith
................ ( ) John Smith and Unknown

Put you pointer in the space bar where it says "Add child" and left click and hold down. You should then be able then to to drag the box up the page, so as you can bring into view the "Save" button at the bottom of the Box Window.


Hope this helps... :-)

If you are on100% zoom level , zoom out to 75% you should be able to see the whole of the box window . You can then reposition it up or down as befor, then go back to 100%

It might take more than one try to position the box to your liking.

Its all well and good changing the zoom level, I have mine set at 125% so would not be able to read it at 75%

Just hit the F11 key when you want to save instead, then F11 to go back to how it was
