Hi,
I would love to include pictures in the general parts of a book
definition. I am thinking about images general to the family to be put
in (e.g.) the Foreword, or an Appendix.I do not knwo how (if at
all) this is possible. So note, this does not refer to images on
individuals that are link
Allen, I appreciate your point of view on this issue. I'm aware of the
accepted format. I was asking about and proposing that Legacy give the
user the option of having county names entered with the word "county"
after them when using the Geo database. That way users would be free to
choose.
Thanks for the reply Ron! I would never request that Legacy be changed
to make 'county' a requirement. I was proposing and asking about having
it as an option only.

and then follow the instructions as to weather you want it or not, and if

Exactly the answer I wanted! It works like a charm. Apparently, this
