Re: [LegacyUG] Newspaper tidbits, put into Notes or enter as a Fact?
Vicki, I added a new Event to the Master Event Definition List and named it In the News. Please advise if you come up with something better.

Any ideas on how to enter these little news items? Thanks so much!

I created an event called newspaper clippings and transcribe what I find in the notes section. This way I can also enter the source for each individual clipping.

Re: [LegacyUG] Newspaper tidbits, put into Notes or enter as a Fact?
There's much to be found in newspapers, on the internet as well as hard copy. I have a master source called Newspaper Clipping, with the Repository being Carolyn's Library, when I have the actual or downloaded article. The details of the paper, date, page, etc., I include in the Source Detail. I prefer a generic master source, although when I have the time I may segregate those from the New York Times, of which I now have several hundred. As more and more make their archives accessible on line, it is possible to learn so much.
