But Ray does not say he has multi-page documents, but that he has multiple copies of files, which I took to mean duplicates of the same image.

Mike, I was presuming Ray had several images (pages if you like) of a document that linked to a single fact. Without converting them into a single multipage image they would only be viewed one at a time. I had exactly the same issue with a war diary which I initially scanned into individual images (1 for each page). I had linked all these to a single fact (Enlistment). I later linked them all again to the Discharge fact. A long winded process for 20 images but now with a single multipage image the process is much more streamlined and to me at least make for a much easier experience when I read the document. Regards Brian

Sorry Brian, but how does that work with FH Media records linked to Media files?

I Have managed to aquire multiple copies of media files, Is it possible to merge of a single media, or must it be done one at a time?
