I frequently use something called printfriendly to print things I want on the internet. I am able to delete anything that I don't want, choose which pictures I want, etc and then choose to print or download as a pdf file. I've found it very easy to work with. Just go to www.printfriendly.com Gail

Why would you not scan the will and put it in a folder.  Use  the add media/  document,  to record where you have it stored. You can leave a "note"  or create an event with the most pertinent data from the will. Ian My photographs don't do me justice -they just look like me. Ian Macaulay   Carp,

Yes, Sherry, I do that too! I also find that I cannot print anything from the web as I want it. I like to remove all the ads and extraneous things from the pages, and re-format to suit me (and make it fit on one page, if possible). I will often use Word (so I can include pics) or sometimes Wordpad,

For direct ancestors, I include the text in the notes; same for codicils. For ancestral relatives, I include it in the text section of the source detail. Including it in the event notes takes up more room in your reports. If you want cleaner, shorter reports, include it in the source detail. CE
