    2. Hi, I generally put everything that I type into the notes section. When I tried putting things into facts, medical, etc. I would forget about it and not be able to find it or would get annoyed with having to tab through all of the headings to see all of the information I have. It also takes up more space when printing out the information when you use the other sections. I even put my sources in the notes. For me, it is easier having everything there. I do still use the source application so that I have a bibliography of my sources, but I like to also have it in the notes so it is all easy to find. Pictures, scanned obits, deeds, etc. I put in the scrapbook. Oh, I do all caps for first names of direct descendants - it makes it easy to see who is direct in the index, reports and list of children on family pages. It beeps at you and tells you that you have too many capitals, but just hit okay or ignore and it works. If you do all caps for the last name in the parents boxes, you have to adjust every child for that family which is why I just do the first names. Lianne Mitchell
