Hi Heather, By transcribing I mean to type the data from the pages I have on-line that are images, once I have the data as text I can put it on-line in HTML format as well as having the image of the page available, the images are very large files and take a long time to load in the web browser, the HTML files are much smaller and easier to read for the visitor. If you are interested in transcribing any of these pages let me know and I will help you get started.

Hi Heather, You should be OK with this, things have changed in the past 20 years but not so much that you can't learn the new ways ;-) First, I assume that you are using Windows, if so you should have MS Excel and /or MS Works. If you can use either of these programs then you are almost there. Start your Excel or Works program, with Works you will need to choose a data base or spread sheet format, either will work fine for this, with Excel a new spread sheet file should be open for you when the Excel starts. You will need to visit the Encyclopedic Directory web page at; http://www.rootsweb.com/~inclay/enc-dir/ and click on page 46, let the image load fully, it will take several minutes, once the image is fully loaded click on "File" near the top of your web browser and choose the "Save" option, your web browser will ask you where to save the image, just choose somewhere you will remember.Once you have the image saved on your computer you can open and view it anytime even when you are NOT on the Internet. I like to use a program called "Imaging" to view the image file but you can use any image viewer that you are used to. You will need to have the program that you are going to use to enter the data in to ( Excel / Works) open at the same time you have your image viewer open with the page loaded. You can re-size both program windows to half screen so you can see the image as well as the data program, that way you won't have to switch back and forth from one window to another. Let me know if this doesn't make any sense and I will try to explain it better.
