Try ATNotes -- still free and much better, in my opinion http://atnotes.fr.st/

You can get tabs to stick if you use CTRL-Tab rather than just Tab - or copy and paste the census transcription. But the screen display will be different to the report display. You need to keep checking the report if you want the report to look 'pretty'. I did this for descendant book reports and Multiple Line of Descent reports for a chunk of my family. Looks good but was fairly tedious to do - I got better at it :-). I found it was best to use spaces between Name and Status rather than tabs. I didn't go to non-proportional font as I don't like the look. I use an old free version of TurboNote (v3.4) these days to transcribe census. The note will sit on top of all windows and when I copy and paste to Legacy, the tabs seem to travel with it so things are fairly well lined up. The other feature I use is the ability to set an alarm on a note - for any date or time to remind me to pay bills or get the bread out or whatever ;-) You can still find the free version on the net if you search but mostly the latest shareware version. Could be time I upgraded and paid up. Cathy At 01:24 4/02/2005, you wrote: >Hi, > >My notes don't look 'pretty' and I'd like to know how to format them in >tabular columns (census information).
