Will have to study on this one. Don't see right now why I should remove this
Source Title from the Template but maybe I'll see the light later.

[ Wim - You can even circumvent the output of Source Title if you
[ remove the
[ variable from the Template. Rather than have a separate source for every
[ e-mail that I get from someone with whom I correspond frequently, I have
[ omitted both Document Title and Name from my templates. Instead
[ I have used
[ the [CD] variable where the subject line (document title) would go in the
[ template. This way I can have a unique Primary Citation and Secondary
[ Citation which use the [CD] for the subject of the individual e-mail, and
[ then have one bibliographic format that shows that I have an "e-mail
[ compendium from xxx." This works well for me.

[ The name that you type in the "Pick List" etc. is *not* the name that is
[ used in output. You can design your own scheme for naming sources that is
[ more meaningfull to you and easier to use. For output Genbox takes the
[ "Source Title" and these can all begin with "[Document No. 001]" etc.

[ [
[ [ I discovered the problem which may help others and may be
[ important for
[ [ Bill in upgrading the program.
[ [
[ [ 1. The "Add New" button continually refused to active, even when I
[ [ typed text in the second blank on the top of the Select Source Dialog.
[ [
[ [ 2. When I put some text in that box and then hit my tab button more
[ [ than once, the program crashed -- three times!
[ [
[ [ 3. I thought about Bill's comment, "You will also notice that the
[ [ source list is automatically filtered by what you type, so if there
[ [ already is a source with a name that begins with what you
[ have typed, it
[ [ will appear in the list."
[ [
[ [ In this particular project, ALL of my sources begin with the phrase:
[ [ [Document No. 001], or [Document No. 002]. I begin all
[ sources this way
[ [ because I'm preparing documentation for court and the
[ documents go into
[ [ a notebook with numbered poly-vu sheets. This is also why I asked Bill
[ [ for freeform source entry -- the templates are frustrating and do not
[ [ generally work for my type of citations, etc.
[ [
[ [ I therefore just typed the letters xx (to test the feature) and lo and
[ [ behold, the "Add Source" button activated! So even when the
[ third word
[ [ (and after) of my source title was different than others, it
[ still would
[ [ not activate the "add source" button.
[ [
[ [ This is going to be a problem for other sourcing because if you cite
[ [ sources according to Evidence!, many sources begin with the persons
[ [ name. So, for example, You might type "John Smith, birth
[ [ certificate...." or "John Smith, death certificate..." And
[ what about
[ [ census returns that begin "John Smith household..." Using my example
[ [ above with the document numbers, the "Add Source" button will not
[ [ activate either.
[ [
[ [ Can this be fixed, Bill?
[ [
[ [ On another note, I'm still not sure I'm using the source feature
[ [ correctly to NOT have to use the templates and merely type a complete
[ [ citation in Doc Title and then copying it into the Name
[ field. I do not
[ [ use any of the other features. The reports are coming out okay. Am I
[ [ doing this right? I don't find a "freeform" feature.
[ [
[ [ Thank you to everyone who replied to my earlier plea.

[ [
[ [ Hi Kathy,
[ [
[ [ Type a name for the new source in the second blank at the top of the
[ [ Select
[ [ Source dialog. As soon as there is some text there, the "Add
[ New" button
[ [ will become active.
[ [
[ [ You will also notice that the source list is automatically filtered by
[ [ what
[ [ you type, so if there already is a source with a name that begins with
[ [ what
[ [ you have typed, it will appear in the list.
