I see that word processing features (bold, italic, etc.) for Notes is on the wish list, and I've just voted for it. My notes on individuals are beginning to get a bit disorganised, as I add notes about things I have found out or plan to do, and I need to re-organise them to bring all the information about one aspect (searches for a baptism, for example) together. At the moment the notes are simply in date order of writing. Word-processing features would help (for example bold to mark the sections, italic for dates when note was written).
Do people have any suggestions about the best way to lay out notes? Do people find it better to have one large note for each individual with sections, or separate notes for different issues (baptism, marriage, etc.)? I can see advantages and disadvantages of both. Or any other method?

Organization of notes
I have to do lists in using the Named list. So I have one called Dorset Record Office, adding each person I need to check with a note against that person in the list on what I want to check and where. Obviously you could have a list called Evershot Parish Records or even Evershot Parish Baptisums. Have search for Named Lists for more posts on this subject.
