Perhaps more of a consideration for professionals genealogist, who want to write a research report, the NoteLink item allows a large amount of text to be entered that isn’t linked to any particular person. It is a mini word processor within Pedigree Forge. See “Rich Text Editor”.
Notes are added using the pen icon from the action bar on the left of the Pedigree Forge window. They are edited (and can be added or deleted) from their own window. The ID number is used to link a NoteLink item in a report, to a note record. It is also possible to give a particular note record a name, so it can be located via name, rather than ID.
