Yes I just highlighted it and bingo my photograph is now in my word document and I have  resized it too.

Brilliant, thank you so much, that will keep me quiet for the next two years.

Best wishes

Just got back here. 

See Gadget got to help you.   I had a look at the ftm facility and didn't rate it much really. 

I also put bits of census pages in my narratives.  Crop them in the picture programme to the bit I want and just insert that.  You'll also find you can move things about so that there aren't big gaps on the page.

I just wish I had more pictures.

Hi Silvery

Yes I have learnt something new today thanks to Gadget ~ I need to practice now ~ I think I will be using a combination of programmes to produce this book.

I still feel disappointed that FTM doesn't print the photos and certs etc. where you place them in the persons 'Scrapbook'.  Perhaps they will do just that in future versions.

Many thanks both for your help.
Best wishes
