Thank you for your reply,

I have seen the story segment but what I wanted to do is to download some family stories I have in my documents to my Tribal Pages Tree .The way it is set out in Tribal pages would take too long as from what I am looking at you have to type it all in.I have put stories on Ancestry Com and all I had to do was press browse find the story and Load it in the same way as Photos.There is no way that I can see to do this in Tribal Pages .Once again thank you for your Prompt Reply ,Regards Marion

Thank you,

Have done so and am getting there slowly as the stories are long and I have to copy 2 and 3 times It is a pity the Photos and maps did not work with the text but not to worry

if you put the pictures online, you can get the http:// address and post it in HTML in the story and then it will show. the HTML tag is: <img src="http://XXXX.jpg" />

between the " and " you put the address.

for example:

http://cooperrevier.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=cooperrevier&view=78&ver=10820&storyid=35205

and the link below (i dont know if you can see it)

i guess something might be done with maps too, which would be amazing!

for more HTML tips that are the coolest:

Hi

There is a 'Tip' on adding google maps to Stories or your homepage (they can even be added to individual's notes, but may need a chunk of text at the beginning - if you experiment, you see what I mean).

http://tips.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=tips&view=78&storyid=1330

The code looks daunting, but google will supply it for you if you go to their site - see link on the Tips page (you may need to change the dimensions).

Any problems, post it here and someone will be able to help out.

Tip: try out new html code in a trial story first (it can be deleted later),

All the best

Is there someone or somewhere I can find out what all this means. I've read this thread twice and don't understand much of it. I understand what is wanted but the explanations as to how to do it seems to be for experts...

Originally I was trying to put a story I have about my family in Tribal pages It is a very large story in word with text pictures cuttings and Maps I managed to get the text in after having to make it 3 episodes but can't get the pictures etc in. I have been given Information in different threads on how to do it .I am afraid it is beyond me I am 83 years old and although I have been using a computer for about 13 years, unfortunately the technical side is a little daunting

Hi Di,thanks for the kind words, and would you sign my GUEST BOOK.

I can explain easier if you e-mail me,

but if you go to a great friend of mine site,TIPS you will see, lots of the information on there.

I have put the LINK for PHOTOS below,and you will also see the TEXT format on there, by looking through his pages.

This is too much to put on the FORUM, but if you get stuck, as I have said just e-mail me

I am definitely stuck, I was trying to center a picture, but cannot figure out how. I want to rearrange photos in Stories. All the pictures go to the left down the page, I would like them to be scattered or like your ROYAL page.

Would like to know if you can make two links in a row in Notes. I keep getting an error 404. Also, can you make a link like in Death Notes for a pdf file, because I keep getting an error for that as well. I have been successful with making a link directly to Find a Grave, but that is the only one I can get to work. Please help!

Thanks, Di

Hi Di, this piece of code centres, and also sizes the photo, You can adjust size by altering width and heght.

**********************

<center>

<img

src="http://vyepar.tribalpages.com/tpphotos/fullphotos/vyepar_3977709.jpg"width="200"

height="100"></center>

***********************

You can put any amount of LINKS in a Line.

See code below

************************

LINKS in LINE Space Bar increases GAP

XXXXXXXX = your LINK ADDRESS

************************

<a href="XXXX">Homepage</a> <a href="XXXX">Products</a> <a

href="XXXX">Downloads</a> <a href="XXXX">About</a>

*************

For the DEATH . Do you mean where it says PLACE -----Yes as long as the address is not too long, but not for a PDF file as you cannot LINK to it,as it would not be on the WEB.

All the best

Hi Marion, have you tried this way to copy and paste.

Go to you Text and put your Cursor, at the beginning.

Press Keys Ctrl and A this will then HIGHLIGHT all your Text, then Keys Ctrl C , this will then copy all your text, then go to your Story Page and put your Cursor where you want Text to start and press Keys Ctrl V.

This is the simplest way with no FAILURES.

Most people just try to highlight by dragging, but using Keys Ctrl A is easier
