Ron, No apology needed for the delay. Problems here too. Thanks for the help. I would have never thought about the Name Tags!! I've been playing around with your suggestion and I think this will work, not only for my cemetery reports, but for other reports also with a little extra tweaking of the settings. And I like the fact that I can save it for future reports. Luckily I am familiar with html code having done code years ago so I should be able to "modify" some of my web pages. Again, thanks for taking the time to help!!

I have at long last got my computers talking to each other again - but what a job! At least my main one is now running about three times the speed it was, and no it wasn't a virus, just 5 years of accumulated dead ends and other rubbish! At last I have time to think. Initially, I have been playing around with the Address Report, however I cannot get this to work as I think it should. In particular I cannot get it to show a picture, nor does it have the facility to customise the fields. I cannot see the point of having a picture in the Address Screen if it cannot be printed either. This may be me so I will have another look at it later. However, Salvation is in the Name Tags and success or otherwise depends on the detail in the location field for burial. This does have a customisable (Ugh!) "What to print" tab and one can choose the burial fields and Lat/Long. Furthermore, if you temporarily put the cemetry/gravestone pic. in the individual's gallery (and starred) it will print. Please try this and come back to me. > I had also been adding copies of the death certificates, pictures, etc., to > the buried "+" fields but have found they don't print or show up on the web > page creation Legacy does, again I could be doing something wrong. In a nutshell, none of the vital record pictures will print/display on website. As you know they can be included in an event and included that way. Personally for websites, I code them myself and put them where I wish. Similarly this can be done in Word or OpenOffice Writer for print. (BTW please do not trim this post other than the Legacy bits at the end as I have to keep referring back, I think the memory must be going :-) ) Ron Ferguson _____________________________________________________________________ Update your British Prime Ministers Timeline - Blogs http://www.fergys.co.uk View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.
