Marilyn, You are largely approaching the question in the way in which I would tackle it, if I wished only to use Legacy to produce the reports. In fact for reports I add the pictures individually, except pictures of a specific person, using Open Office, and for webpages I code them directly into the page. The suggestion which I would make is to consider using the Marriage Events for a picture of Husband and Wife, and I would also consider using these Events for a Family Goup. For adding names you may like to consider using fototagger from: http://www.fototagger.com/ which is free. Do no forget to avoid using spaces in file names as these can cause problems (and usually do) on the web, and with some programs.
