Lots of nuances to the source writer. When I click on the event and then click on the source citation in the event window, the citation does show up on the list for alt. death and I did find it in the main citation list for the record by scrolling down further. The document image was saved on my computer as a .jpg file. I did as you suggested and saved the picture to the event. Should we be saving the picture to the event and the citation? Geoff mentioned in his last webinar saving some things in a .tif file as opposed to a .jpg. Does anyone recall the reasoning behind this? Something about the difference in the documents, ie. Bible records vs. other types of records. Why would one file type be better than the other?
