Transcription Instructions
Several autobiographical sketches, life stories and obituaries
have been sent in to the family organization in a form which would be
improved by retyping or transcribing. What is displayed over the
Internet is actually a photograph of the original, often a Xerox
copy. For purposes of the family history, this document needs to be
"word processed" or typed out as an editable computer file.
If you are willing to do this for us, please follow these
steps:
- Email or telephone
(801) 226-1123 (David Walton) and identify which file you are
retyping,
- Print out the document or view it on your computer
screen,
- Retype the document as an email message or, for long
documents, type it out within your word processing software,
- Formating makes little difference except for the need to
keep the original paragraphing. Type each paragraph as a whole
before pressing the "carriage return" key.
- Save the file, if word processed, in one of these formats
(all word processors can do this as part of the SaveAs
function) -WordPerfect 5, WordPerfect 6, Microsoft Word.
- Email (or attach the
word processed file to email) the finished product
The document you send in will replace the less legible file within
a few days. Thank you for your help.
