    1. [FHU] Text files

    3. I have a number of text files, copies of letters, descriptions of people and events, short family histories, wills, and so on, that I would like to include in my FHS files, but the question is where? Wills I have attached as Notes to Will facts, but that answers just a part of the question. I suppose I could make each such document a separate Note in the Property box, but I'm afraid they may get overlooked. And what if the files include pictures and are not strictly text? Any insight or suggestions, please? Michael Synge

    3. How about an individual custom attribute called Documents, where you could list all the documents for a particular person within the notes. If the documents related to a family you could also create a family custom attribute for the same thing Shelagh -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Synge Sent: 16 April 2014 14:51 To: [email protected] Subject: [FHU] Text files I have a number of text files, copies of letters, descriptions of people and events, short family histories, wills, and so on, that I would like to include in my FHS files, but the question is where?

    3. You could also add the documents as multimedia which enables you to insert any type of document with an associated reader program. Another advantage also is that you can then link to the same document from all relevant individuals, families, facts, etc David On 16/04/2014 15:25, Greenbee wrote: > How about an individual custom attribute called Documents, where you could > list all the documents for a particular person within the notes.
