Thanks Sally, someone else recommended Evernote. I'm going to try it. Looks like 'free' would fill up fast.

Consider trying "Evernote" for notetaking. I use it on laptop, Android phone, Samsung Galaxy tablet & desk computer--syncs on all of them. Also includes option to take photos--great with phones--and clip web images. Works really well.

Is there a word processor or an app for taking notes and saving for tablets? Friend says she can't save on her Motorola Xoom; might be that she doesn't know how. Think I asked at the Apple store when the new ones came out and was told there was not an app for note taking. Maybe there is now. > > > >Betty >FL > > > > > >________________________________ > From: Debbie Pruitt <pruittdeb...@gmail.com> >To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com >Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 1:21 PM > >Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Does the size of screen annoy you while using Families >for Legacy app? > > > >I use Families on both an Android phone and an iPad 2.
