Sue asked,

<< I'm new to TMG. It's flexibility and power are quite impressive! I'm
wondering how some of you enter documents such as obituaries and family
recollections -- text documents. I'd like such items to appear in reports
following the standard birth, death, marriage paragraph. For some of the
more lengthy documents, I wonder if it would be more feasible to refer the
reader to "exhibit A," for example, in an appendix.

I have created tags for Newp-Obit, Newp-Wed, Newp-Birth, Newp-Misc. You can
then select them for the report or leave them out. This doesn't exactly do
what you want though. I use the Genealogy Report and that creates a 2
paragraph report. The birth, marriage, death tags go in the first paragraph
and the remaining selected tags go in the 2nd paragraph. This means your obit
would be in the second paragraph and would not follow the death. You could,
of course move them in your word processor.
