Do you have any advice on how to transcribe ledgers such as this one.

Queensland Frontier Conflict

Hi Sonya - it's not easy, or able to be done exactly as on the page. To create tables you only have to separate the text for each cell with a vertical stroke— | —see the one line on the page and go from there. It automatically wants to create a header row, though, which is why there is a line of cells with ... inside each one. If I leave them blank it doesn't recognise them as cells, if I don't include them, then it makes the Feby line the header line and shades it. Good luck!
