My daughter speaks highly of OneNote, which comes witn MS Office, which I believe has a Mac version. I haven't tried it myself, though, but I use askSam for making notes from documents in archives, interviews with family members and the like. I wouldn't like that to be part of my regular genealogy program, because I use it for making notes of other things as well, and genealogy programs are too bloated as it is - remember the days when programs used to take up less disk space than the data? -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa Web: http://hayesfam.bravehost.com/stevesig.htm Blog: http://methodius.blogspot.com E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk
