Adding Callouts

Callouts are like thought balloons in a comic.  There are various designs for call-outs including starbursts, clouds and rectangles.  You can also add various effects to make them look three dimensional or tilted, etc.  The nice thing about callouts is that you can adjust the line coming out of the shape to point to an exact spot – in my case, to the date on the Date Bar.  To add a callout:

  • From the Insert tab at the top, click on “Shapes” and then select the Callout shape you’d like from the choices.
  • I chose a rectangle to keep it simple.  Draw the callout by clicking and dragging the mouse into the desired dimensions.  You can type your text immediately and then adjust the size of the callout to fit the text and the look you are going for.
  • The yellow diamonds on the callout line allow you to adjust the line to point to the exact point on the timeline that you’d like by clicking and dragging the line wherever you’d like.
  • Each callout can be formatted with color and other effects to bring attention to specific details.  For example, I chose colors for my callouts that match the colors I chose in the location bar to quickly show which county the fact was from. You can add effects by selecting “Shape Fill” under the Format tab.
  • You can add as many effects as you’d like to make the timeline look as 3-D or as simple as you’d like.
  • After you have inserted all of your callouts, some of the lines may be in front of the boxes.  To fix this, click on the callout and then under the “Format” tab, click on “Send to Back”.

There is no end to the number of effects you can add to your timeline.  For myself, spending time working on the timeline sometimes brings details into focus or shows me new areas to research.  It can show me areas where I’m making wrong assumptions and because I can add information for other family members as well, it can consolidate information in a way that makes sense visually as opposed to my notes which are filed by individual families.

I’d love to hear ideas of other things to include on a timeline!

Create a Location Bar

I decided that above my Date Bar, I’d make a simple Location Bar to show which County/State my ancestor was living in through the years.

  • Select a row for your Location Bar.  (Row 4)  It should be a row that is high enough to enter the information you’d like.  I wanted to enter a date range and a location.
  • Using the Date Bar as a guide, follow the same steps as for the Date Bar to create the Location Bar.  I merged cells that would have been the date range for a specific location.  For example, I have information that says my ancestor was born around 1813 in North Carolina.  The next location record I have for him is an 1840 census in Mississippi.  So I merged cells to cover 1813 – 1840.  Because I don’t know if he moved during that time, I put 1813 – ? and North Carolina.
  • Merge appropriate cells across the time range until all locations are entered.
  • Again, you can border each cell.  I chose to put a border on the top and bottom and then I used color to indicate if there was a question as to how long he lived in a certain location.  As a minimum, I suggest doing each location in a different color so it is easy to see when your ancestor moved.  To fill in color:
    • Highlight the cell(s) and click the icon for fill color.
    • You can choose one of the theme colors or you can click on “more colors” to choose from a color wheel of sorts.
    • You can also choose to add a texture or effect to convey information.  Because I don’t know exactly when my ancestor moved from North Carolina to Mississippi, I chose to add a gradient effect to make the color gradually fade out.  This reminds me to keep my timeframe for research flexible.

      • To make a special effect with your coloring:  Right-click in the cell you will be formating and choose “Format Cell”.
      • Under the “Fill” tab, click on “Fill Effects”
      • There are various choices here.  You can select your color or colors at the top and you can choose different shading styles at the bottom.  Look at the different options and then click on the box with the desired design.   Because I knew a specific date that my ancestors WAS in a location but didn’t know when he moved from that location, I chose to start my box with solid coloring that gradually fades out.
  • I used the same steps to also add a Location Bar for my ancestor’s father directly above his Location Bar.


That can show me areas that I may not have considered searching before because all I had in my group sheet was a date and location.  For example, census records say that William Stephens was born around 1813 in North Carolina.  But William’s father, Welcome’s timeline shows that he is listed in the tax records of Adair Co, Kentucky in 1812.  So either William was born in Kentucky, or he was born before 1812.  If he was born before 1812, then I might search in Buncombe Co, NC, where Welcome was located in the 1810 census.  A good researcher already is looking at this, but seeing it in a visual format keeps it in the front of my mind – not jumbled in with all of the dates and locations in my mind as I’m looking at group sheets.

Coming next time – adding Call Outs to show additional information.

As my school year gets closer to the end, my days become more and more hectic.  Students who are struggling are finally asking for help after school.  And my students have to pass the state test given at the end of the school year in order to graduate, so that means creating extra practice problems for that.  Bottom line is, I don’t have as much time to get to the library to research as I “normally” do.  (But summer is coming, PTL!) So I use my spare minutes here and there to update my notes and files and to think of ways to make my research more visual because I am a very visual person.

Keeping on with my Excel series, I decided to think of my Excel Group Sheets sort of like my “research wall”.  I don’t have to keep all of the information within a certain image size since I’m not printing it, (although I could print the group sheet only by printing page 1 only) so I can put all kinds of information in the worksheet and scroll to whatever section has the information I’m looking for.  Last week, I showed how to use comments as post-it notes.  This week, I’ve decided to add a timeline to help me zero in on the most likely locations to look for records for my ancestors.

I did a search online for a timeline template and found one that I think is incredible at http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelArticles/create-a-timeline.html, but while I loved the way it looks, I think it would take a pretty advanced Excel user to modify it in any way (like having it show up next to my group sheet).  I’m not looking for something that gives me MORE work to do, but a timeline that uses the very basic skills of Excel.  Knowing how to do these things are all that are required to make my timeline.

  • Highlight a column
  • Adjust the width of a column
  • Merge cells
  • Format cells (left justified, top or bottom, centered, etc.)
  • Add color to cells
  • Add call outs and adjust their size and shape.

These are the steps to make a replica of my timeline using Excel 2007.  I believe everything I do in 2007 can be done with earlier versions except some of the color gradients.  I also know that a lot of personalizing can be done to the task bar, so yours may not look exactly like mine in the images.

Due to length, I’m going to make this a multi-part posting.

Choose the location for your timeline.

Because I can’t change the width of columns A-I without changing my group sheet, I decided to put my timeline to the right of my group sheet.  I’ve removed my comment balloons for my illustration photos, but I left a couple of columns between my group sheet and my timeline to leave space for those.  So my timeline begins at Column L.  I also had to consider which row had the height that I wanted to use for my timeline bar.  I wanted to have notations above and below and I wanted a row that was high enough to read my dates.  I chose Row 6.  I plan to put timelines with different information above my date bar, so I wanted to be near the bottom of several rows with the same height.  I also wanted to add call-outs below the tame bar, so the thinner rows below Row 6 were good for that.

Format your columns:

I wanted to be able to indicate specific years for items on my timeline, but I didn’t want to take the space to type every year at the top of each column.  So I adjusted my columns to be very small and then merged the cells in the timeline bar to groups of 5.

  • Decide where you want your timeline bar.  Remember, you can’t adjust the height of the top 40 rows or it will alter the height in your group sheet.  (Mine is Row 6)
  • Highlight several columns (for mine, I highlighted columns L-P)
    • Clicking and hold your cursor on letter L at the top of the column and then drag your cursor to the last letter before releasing your click.
  • Right click on one of these columns and choose “column width” and adjust the width.  I chose a width of 1.
  • Instead of trying to highlight 100 columns, I only adjusted 5 or so and then clicked on one of the letters in the center and then clicked on “insert” over and over until I had the number of thin columns that I needed.  Every inserted column has the same width as the column to the right.

Create the Date Bar

  • On the Date Bar row (Row 6), highlight the first 5 cells of the date bar. (Column L – P).  Right click that area and select “format cells”.  Under the alignment tab, select “merge cells”.
  • Type in the date you’d like in the box.  In my tool bar, I told it to left justify and put it at the bottom of the cell.  You can also italicize or choose a different font for different looks.
  • Repeat the last two steps working your way across the bar until all of the relevant dates are included.
  • Highlight the entire Date Bar and select a fill color.
    • You can also add borders around each cell, or across the top and bottom – whatever you’d like for the look you’d prefer.

Your Timeline should now look similar to this.

This is something new I started using this week and I think it’s going to be a great asset in my research!

Several years ago, I fell in love with a free program called Fototagger.  (http://www.fototagger.com/)  I used it to identify people in photos or to add information about locations and such.  I especially loved to use it with newspaper clippings – specifically for obituaries.  I could add little balloons around an image to point to specific pieces of data and add information that I knew.  For example, in a list of survivors, I could add balloons with birth/death dates, relationship to deceased, corrections to information, questions to follow up on, etc.  If another researcher had the Fototagger software on their computer, they could see my balloons and add information and send it back.  If a person didn’t have the software, they would see the original image, but no balloons.  I absolutely loved the program!  BUT, when I upgraded my laptop to use Vista, the program caused my computer to shut down any time I opened an image, whether I had used it with Fototagger or not.  I checked the web site several times for updates, but it didn’t appear that anything had been done with the program for quite awhile and I had to stop using it.

This week, I decided to see about creating my own version of this using Excel and it’s ability to add comments.  This is my first time using comments with my genealogy stuff, so I may eventually find more uses for this, but I’m excited with what I’ve come up with so far.  Here is an image of one of my group sheets with no comments. (Click on the image to see a larger version in another window.)

Because I know I’ll want to have comments on both sides of my chart, I’ll add columns to the left side.  I can change the width of the columns if needed to give me more room.

If I have a question or comment (or source citation, since I can’t add those to Excel like I do in Word) I can add a comment that shows up in a balloon next to the cell I click on.  To do this, click on the cell and then under the “Review” tab, click “New Comment”.  The balloon shows up with the cursor in place to type my comment.  I can always go back and change the comment just like I would for any text.

 

When the balloons pop up, they are directly to the right of the cell – which means that at times, the balloon is right in the middle of my chart.

I can move the balloon to any part of the page I’d like, change the size of the balloon and have a line point to the piece of information I’m referring to. To move the balloon, put your cursor along the edge of the balloon until the cursor becomes a cross.  Click on the balloon and move it wherever you’d like.  To change the size of the balloon, place your cursor on one of the corners or center of an edge.  The cursor become a double arrow.  Click and drag the box into any size you’d like.

I like these balloons for source citations, follow up questions, “to do lists”, information on other researchers I’m sharing info with or why I think information might be wrong.  I can then email my file to other researchers who can see my questions and comments and then add their own before emailing it back.  With one click of the button, I can hide individual comments or all of the comments.  Small red triangles remain in the upper right corner of any cell that has a comment.  The comments do not show up in the print out (or at least I haven’t found a way to make them show up.)

I think I’m most excited about leaving post-it notes behind!  Adding comments to my pages as soon as I think of things will help keep my thoughts organized in the midst of the dozens of interruptions that I experience every day!
