Thanks for your prompt replies. Do I understand that the "obit tag" will only appear once in the journal report. If so when does it appear, the first time the person's name appears or the second time? I have hundreds of obit information in the "memo" of the death tag. I would like to keep the obit as written. Some of the obits are very interesting and helpful in understanding more about the person. The only way I thought possible was to save as a Word document and then remove the unwanted memo in the death tag. That would take a tremendous amount of time. Looking forward to your reply.

(I'm not at my computer so I can't check but I don't recall a problem, and I use a lot of obits.)

That same information in included in two places when the journal is printed. One - The first time that person is listed (perhaps as a child or spouse). A Second time - when that person is listed again (perhaps as a parent). When I print the journal, it is in two places and takes up a great deal of space. Can I select the place I feel would be the best for the journal? Or at least have it printed only once - TMG choice.. Thanks in advance for your help.

As Judy suggests, you can create a Custom OBIT Tag just for the obit text. Adjust the Sentences as desired. It could be just "[M]" (no quotes) or something like "[PP] obit, published [D]< in [DETAIL]>, read as follows: [M]" (no quotes). Or you could just use the ANECDOTE or NOTE Tag. In the latter case, you may wish to adjust the Sentence as desired. I seldom include obits in my Tags unless they are somewhat unique in the way they are written and/or give a lot of information not available elsewhere. Instead, I just enter them as Sources and occasionally quote small excerpts from them in a Tag. In some cases -- again mostly when they are unique or quite long , I will enter them as text Exhibits usually just attaching the Exhibit to the Source. This allows me to have the obit text handy for future reference. Lee
