PDF editing is NOT supported with Office 2010, you need to have a newer version, 2013 or 2016.

Thanks for the warning that the conversions may not be entirely accurate. Whether or not you save it with the original PDF file name is up to you. I've used different names and the same name depending on what I'm doing. Cathy David C Abernathy wrote: NOTE. Word will convert the current PDF document to a Word file, allow one to do the editing and then resave it using the original PDF file name. So one will have 2 conversions that just may generate flaws within the final file. There is NO PDF editor program, they ALL do this conversion and then resave to the original file name. *From:*Cathy Pinner [mailto:genea...@gmail.com] *Sent:* Wednesday, November 4, 2015 6:38 PM *To:* legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com <mailto:legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com> *Subject:* Re: [LegacyUG] Ad ding a Word Document to Media Lynn et al, You can edit PDFs in recent versions of Microsoft Word. There shouldn't be any problem adding a Word doc in media. Same way you add a PDF. Cathy Kathy Meyer wrote:    that worked perfectly.

Or am I doing something wrong?    I have a Word document that I wanted to add to Media    (source). When I add it, I choose 'document' rather than    picture but it just sits there, does nothing at all. Images    add just fine. Is that the problem? It needs to be in an    image format? If so, where can I add a document?    I would normally just copy/paste the data into the details but   &nb sp; this particular docume nt includes a table (I listed a number    of individuals I located at a cemetery with five fields to    identify the individuals and their grave locations). I would    like to be able to view the document from Legacy if I need to.    Now that I'm writing this out, it seems like that document    would have to 'open' in Word when reviewing it later, which I    don't see as an issue, but maybe there is a better way to save    my Word document to make it an easier fit for Legacy? I need    to use this source for dozens of people so I'd like to do it    'right' :-)    & nbsp; Thanks everyone!
