My method is to note the important points in the Event Notes (eg "He left the tools of his trade to his son John, £50 each to his daughters Ann & Mary and the rest of his estate to his wife Joan. He named his brothers Richard & Henry as his Executors.") and then to attach both an image and a full transcript to the Source Citation. -- Jenny M Benson Wrexham, UK -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/

Re: [LegacyUG] How do I strike-through or cross out a word?
Ian, excellent points. Yes, including the transcribed will in the notes section of the event does lead to very long printed reports. I do always attach an "image" of the document to the source citation as well as a transcription. If the document item is readily readable in it's image format, makes perfect sense. This particular 1806 English will (proved 1809) is far from readily readable, but the effort (way to many hours to decipher) did lead to words new to me. I will and do need to "balance" report length with ease and convenience of referring back to source content (via source image/PDF or transcription). I am very weak at the "printing" of reports, but I did not think that attached PDF's could be printed as part of the output. I guess I need to try an experiment. I do remember that attached "images" could be selected to print out or I think I remember that. Anyway, very valid points on method of work, something for me to consider. Thanks.

This can be “attached” to the person-data in Legacy. If it is necessary to have just the text (including strike-through, etc) then Word is adequate, and it will save PDF conveniently. A “real will” will have signatures, etc – so a series of images is sometimes a useful way to preserve the at-the-time changes etc. -- I.L.

Hello, I just can't remember how to go about striking through a word. I'm transcribing a will in the Notes section of the Will event which has a couple of crossed out words. I would like to include those in the will transcription. I've tried Help and looking at Text Formatting, but I can't seem to find. A Google search yielded some shortcuts, but they didn't seem to work either. I looked at the special ribbon characters and failed to spot anything for striking through a word. I look forward to your direction. Thanks.

Cathy, Thank you for your response. I'll add comment inside square brackets as noted. I appreciate your prompt, succinct and spot on responses to questions.

It's normal in transcription to put your comments in square brackets. Cathy B. Akin wrote: Hello, I just can't remember how to go about striking through a word.
