    Adding a newspaper clipping from Find a Grave and increasing the font size

    Is it possible to add a newspaper clipping from Find a Grave to the Notes section, increase the font size, and save it?

    I think you have lots of options here. A few things that spring to mind ...

    1. When you're on the Find-a-Grave website looking at the image, be sure to click the VIEW ORIGINAL link in the lower right corner of the screen. This will allow you to save the best possible resolution photo. Save it to your Mac.

    2. Once you have the image saved locally, open it in Preview (by double-clicking it). From there, you can use TOOLS --> ADJUST SIZE to make the image larger. Just remember, increasing the size also makes the image "fuzzier."

    3. Once you have an image you're happy with, then you can use it as media in Reunion.

    An alternative approach, and one that I would personally recommend, is to copy the text and forget the image. If you're running a recent version of macOS, you can use Preview to highlight and copy the text from the newspaper clipping. Paste that text into one of the Reunion Notes fields. The new text tools in Reunion 14 will help you "clean up" the text by removing extra line breaks, spacing errors, etc.
