Re: Multimedia Captions
Mike at my age I dare not hold my breath!! I realise that this could be a lengthy process if it does ever result in an amendment to the programme. We can but hope. In the meantime, as I am part way through the process of incorporating some 3000 plus items into the project most with consequent multip...

Re: Multimedia Captions
Mike. Apologies, I realise my previous comment had not indicated that I had taken on board your earlier explanation of the fact that the captions were related to the Reports rather than what appeared in the Thumbnails. Whatever the outcome, I believe it would be beneficial if there was consistency a...

Re: Multimedia Captions

I use a lot of pdf items quite often using the same date and it would be very useful to see the reference without ha...
