I would like to post revisions to the text of a family history on the site rather than printing and mailing. Can this be accommodated?

Hi Bea, not quite sure what you mean.

Is it the Text in the Notes of a person.

If so Yes you can alter this.

I am assuming that Bea is sending updates to family and friends who already have access to her tree. I think all she needs to do is to email them, using a 'group' email, to suggest they peruse the updated Story or notes of the particular individual(s).

I keep guests up to date using a Story page headed 'Updates' upon which I record all the changes I have made in that week. An update is left on the page for a month so there is never more than 4 weeks updates. My guests are aware of this and I don't have to send them email notices.

If they are really interested in the tree they can check that page, whenever it is convenient to them, but only need to do so at 4 weekly intervals to be aware of all updates.

The leading entry on any person's notes box is always the month and year in which that individual was last updated.

Thank you Ted. You correctly figured out my problem, although I have already muddled around and found that I can post it to STORY by copying it. My full document is about 25 pages, so I decided to post it in installments. I would like to be able to upload from my document. Also, it was inconvenient to have to enter about 60 e-mail addresses since I haven't found a way to use the addresses listed with family names. Any thoughts on how to do that?

Again, thank you

Hi Bea , you mention that you have uploaded 25 pages of one document,which would take some reading as a page, follwing the Text from start to finih.

Have you considered SCROLLING Text with a Start and Stop and forward and reverse.

If you look at my Link attached, you will see how this

can be done. and see an example of this

Thanks for responding Les. I haven't uploaded 25 pages, but my doc is 25 pages. I'm breaking it down to 2 and 3 pages at a time, but so far can only copy and insert.

I'll work on your suggestion.

Hi Bea.

There are two ways to do it, one uploading Photographs of your Pages, the other uploading your Text.

Can you e-mail me as it will be simpler to show you.

My e-mail address is

lvyeparminter@ntlworld.com

The Link below shows second way as TEXT
