Hello everyone,

If I add a picture to the picture gallery of any individual or couple and in

Initially I would try running FileFile MaintenaceCheck/Repair to see if this

If this has no effect please come back to the list.

David,
I don't know if this is the reason but the change is a good thing. If the
pictures are ever put onto a web page is a reserved symbol in html coding
and has the potential to totally mess up the web page.

Once you have fabricated the original master source, you must cite it somewhere
at least once,
before you can use it as template for the next source. Once cited, you should
be presented with the
option to save as a new source.

It suggests that those sources that you are editing to make a new
source are not currently attached to anyone.
Once the original source is attached to someone, when you edit it,
you should get the choice to save as a new source.

Hi Cathy
Yes, essentially that's what I meant. Any changes/additions to
information using the Picture List tab of the Photo Center made after
the initial entry and linking of photos don't get made to the individual
records. This means any change/addition must be made to each individual
record.
I agree - I have often added info to a photo AFTER I have attached it to
someone, and it is a pain having to find everyone with the same photo
attached so I can individually add the same information.
Cheers,

Dear Susie
Thank you. Very helpful indeed.
I was trying to avoid writing on the document itself, but what you say makes
sense and renders the sticking of a label on the outside relatively less
important, since it can be replaced based on the document's own marked ID.
I appreciate the info.
Same here - fonts look OK but I'm probably not using the default fonts.
