Go to
www.cdev.co.uk
for a utility for access storage either save the file path and search
quickly and so on I use it for my storage of stuff.
Or copy and it pastes into content library and you ID it name it category
sub category it dates the entry and gives you a team ID like you could put
obit for this stuff. Then you can search and type james funeral parlour
house and it will find all folders in category and sub category.
I am doing a screenshot thingy next week on my web site if you are
interested
www.docsonline.net.au (that bit is free)
But Chris will fill you in. It is quite good.
And Greg's is great too. But I do like content library. Guess it s the devil
you know.
IT IS SIMPLE to use.
If you want a scren shot off line with what you sent email me so I can reply
with a screenshot.

The utility costs like $50 US dollars. It is an add-in you can turn it on
and off if you wsih and is globally available. And it uses Access without
you having to have it.
So much choice..... good luck

Subject: [mso] Obituaries- how to keep them organized?
As a genealogist, I belong to several genealogy groups that have connections
to my family lines. When someone posts an obituary, I do two things. One, I
print it and stick in a 3-ring binder. They are all in badly out of order,
any kind of order whether by name, location, birth date, death date, or by
cemetery.
I had been printing them all, saving them in a three ring binder, no order,
no sorting. If I want to find one on Jeannette Wilson Brown, I have to go
through all of them until I do find it or discover I don't have it. It might
take three days. (I am not kidding, I have thousands of these.) Most I still
have in Outlook, so I won't have to retype many.
Ok, that said, is there a way to efficiently use Word to help me with this?
That is, sort several ways, or use headings to find the obit fairly quickly,
and embed photos if there is one?
Made up:
Hillston, MaryAnn Denise Franklin, Dearborn, Ohio, passed away January 27,
2002 at her home. She battled cancer for 17 years, married twice. John
Richard Oaks, and David Keith Hillston. Her parents are William and Mary
Franklin; William passed in 1987. She is survived by her brothers, Bobby
Franklin of Memphis, Tenn; David Franklin of Indianapolis, Ind; and Steve
Franklin of Peachville, Georgia. She has one sister, Amanda Bollins, in
Columbus, Ohio.
MaryAnn had two children by her first marriage to John Richard, a son Brian,
and a daughter, Tam. From her second marriage, to David Keith, she had three
children, Andrew, Mark, and Daniel. Services are January 30, 2002, Garden of
Remembrance Cemetery, Louisville, Kentucky.
Decker, Samuel, 78, Nashville, Tennessee died at Lexington Hospital after a
lengthy illness resulting injuries from a car wreck. His wife, Joanne, died
July 20, 1998. He was a member of the Methodist Church, where he served as
deacon. He volunteered his time for teenagers. Visitation at Browning
Funeral Home, today and tomorrow.
Ok, I would want to be able to find either by date of death, funeral home,
last name (if male), or maiden name (if female), location of birth, and
location of death.
That is a lot of ways to find an obituary. Can it be done? Don't worry, if
I understand how to do it, *I* will do it. I have got to bring some means of
control over this or I will start to not be able to find some of it.
Or, would using some type of database be best? (I am not an Access guru.)
Any suggestions, guidance at all, will be very much appreciated. My goal is
to have complete control over this before our reunion Sept 22, 2006.
Thank you.
Robert
