I know what you’re thinking but no, it’s not quite that dramatic. Last month in response to the A to Z blogging challenge, I posted some quilt designs that I had named after females in my family tree over on my quilting blog. Letter F was a quilt design for Fanny Lulu Williamson. [How could…
Here I am going to show you how to Attach and Insert Files into [onto?] Pages in OneNote. I equate “attaching” with “linking.” I am linking to a File on my hard drive, another Notebook, Section or Page or linking to information on the web. The first place I do this in each Surname Notebook…
