Thanks for the insight. Some of my scanned documents are cemetery listings and census data as you state and I add those to the Master source as a 'file', rather than a 'picture'. I presume that the entry as a Master Source 'file' would not show as an icon in any subsequent book I might print? But, if I inadvertently added it as a 'picture', in lieu of a 'file' (I had this happen some years ago), the item icon showed along with the 'real' pictures in the resultant book print. A bummer. So far, adding scanned documentation (as opposed to scanned or digital photos which I add as a 'picture' ) as a 'file' appears to be preferable since the copy/paste function for subsequent entries carries the detail sourcing data along to each entry.
