Many thanks to those who have been responding. Since I don't have a web page, it looks like Timeline won't be practical for me. Also, it's starting to look like it would be complicated and tie-consuming to tailor it to my needs. I can't afford Timeline Maker Pro or other non-freeware, so I'll just continue to use some templates I've made in Excel. It's a shame--I loved the demo, which lets one mouse over events for more details!
