For instance a will could be transcribed and added to the notes section for the fact 'will'. Or in source manager you can add the transcription in the 'source text' field.

An excerpt from the article is as follows: <Once transcribed, the transcription is also copy/pasted into my genealogy software. This prompts me to enter in all the new information I found, including the transcription as part of my source documentation -- a good way to make sure sources are included for all entries. Now the document can come with me on any future research trips snugly tucked away on my laptop.> I currently keep all my transcribed Word documents on the hard drive in folders filed by family name and a brief description, and it had never occurred to me to do what she is suggesting above. Has anyone done this, and where in FO would one paste such a document? I'm currently running FO 9.2. If it's possible to do this, I'd like to hear about the advantages/disadvantages. Thanks!
