=Using MS Word to Add Callouts= Once you've located a sample image from a FamilySearch Historical Records article that you are able to translate, follow the instructions below to add callouts of the genealogical data in English.


 * 1) Open Word and select a blank document (this is typically the first/default choice when opening Word).[[Image: |frame|right|380x330px]]
 * 2) Go to PAGE LAYOUT, click on "Orientation," and select Portrait or Landscape depending on the image.[[Image: |frame|right|380x330px]]
 * 3) Click on "Size" and change the size to the largest selection; usually 11" x 17" or 12" x 18". This larger page size will allow you to retain most of the image's quality and visibility.[[Image: |frame|right|380x330px]]
 * 4) Go to INSERT and click "Pictures." Find the image on your computer and click "Insert."[[Image: |frame|right|380x330px]] Note: Changing the margins to .2” will allow more space to work with.
 * 5) Save the file type as a document file using the same file name as the image. At the end of this tutorial, you should have two files for this one image: the image file you saved to your computer and the Word file (.doc). Saving this Word file allows you to come back later to make any other changes or edits to the callouts.
 * 6) Click somewhere on the blank document with your cursor to finish the “Insert” function. Resize and align the image as desired to allow space for the callouts.
 * 7) Once the image is set on the page you are ready to insert callouts. Open the “INSERT” tab on Word’s top toolbar and then find the “Shapes” tool. Under the “Callouts” section, we want to choose the “rounded rectangular callout.” Which is the second one from the left.[[Image: |frame|right|380x330px]]
 * 8) Once selected, you can click and drag anywhere on the page to create the shape. Hint: If you create one and format the text, size, margins, color, and outline weight, you can copy and paste to create more without having to reformat the shape each time you create one.  Guidelines for callouts:*The outline weight must be at least 1.5 pt and not greater than 2.25 pt*The outline must be black*Set the background color to white*Use black text[[Image: |frame|right|380x330px]]
 * 9) There are two ways to get to the formatting options for callouts:*Select the callout and click on FORMAT under the "Drawing Tools" heading at the top*Select the callout, right click on it, and select "Format AutoShape."[[Image: |frame|right|380x330px]] Note: As you place callouts, try to keep them off of the text of the record as much as possible. You may use the blank spaces of the record to place callouts.
 * 10) Start typing inside the newly inserted callouts. You may keep the text simple, by merely typing "Birth name," "Mother's name," "Place of death," etc.
 * 11) Once on the page, size the callouts accordingly by using your cursor to adjust the small bubbles that appear around the callout.
 * 12) When you’re finished adding all of the callouts necessary, save the file.
 * 13) Email the Word (.doc) file to [mailto:horandm@familysearch.org horandm@familysearch.org].
