I upset everbody with my complaints about the misuse of nudges etc., but admitted defeat, and sorry if I upset anyone.

Glen in Tinsel Knickers has send me some info on how to upload census images to FTM but I just can't find it. He says he has added it to me thread, but it isn't there that I can see, and he isn't replying to me cos he is probably so cross with me.

Can anyone help please? I feel guilty in asking you after I had such a go at some of you. Sorry.

Margaret.

Hi Margaret

You have to save the image first. Then in FTM click on the scrapbook of the person you want to add the image to - right click in the box and select 'Insert image from file' browse to where you saved the image and select it - click Ok and Ok again and the image should appear in the box. If you then click on the drawer symbol below the image you can add a caption and other details.

This is the link to Glens info

But it isn't instructions on how to add images, more how to record what images you have and how to add them to notes. I prefer to copy them into a word document and add them to the scrapbook. I also use Glens method of recording them in Facts so I can see which census I have or haven't got.
