    1. Question- picking out surnames from attachments?
    2. Judy Florian
    3. Often when attachments are made for newspapers especially, the poster never adds the surnames to the field (often because it is hard to do by hand-- picking the names out, then typing them, plus these are often long lists of names). The one today is a reunion article. My uncertainty comes from the fact that none of the skipped names will get picked up by the search on the boards. Knowing we all have opinions <wink> I am sure I will get a variety of thoughts about this. I wondered how strongly Admins feel that names should be copied to the surname field from attachments -- or, not?
