Cheri -

How about some examples of event or source templates you have created.
Perhaps how you enter obituaries - source template, event template, then
actual entry. What events do you usually construct from an obituary? If you
would put that information into a Word document then I will turn it into a
web page (or pages.)

I would like to be liberal with screen shots. (Are you aware that if you
print <Alt-PrintScreen> a copy of the current window is placed in your
clipboard and can be pasted into Word?)

Also, I was thinking of harvesting the genbox-list archives for "how do
I...." and then the answers. Do I have permission to post answers you have
written previously?

Debbie
