How about we give the programmers somewhat of an unofficial poll on how/ where?
My vote is to place the photos at the end of the paragraph of ..... was born on date, place, christened on date, place; died date, place and was buried, date, place.... with any relative photos in the same order as the events, but as a group, so as to not break up the paragraph. ..... was born on date, place, christened on date, place; died date, place and was buried, date, place. etc, etc, etc Birth record image Christening record image death record image burial record image They know what pic is which event (otherwise they could keep it straight in the database) White space..... just basic math.. page size - where you start/insert image + image size = remaining page space Thanks Jay This isnt rocket science.... if it too much for Legacy Programmers then OUTSOURCE the job.
