Bill,

There is not now a way to change the order of the input fields. An
interesting thought though. I'll log it in our system for future
consideration.

There is also not a way for the user to create their own templates. You can
however use the Override tool to customize the output.

Can you provide examples of the models in Evidence! that are not covered in
Evidence Explained? If there are omissions in the new publication we'd be
happy to consider it.

Thanks,

Subject: [LegacyUG] Version 7 Source-Writer - for Geoff

The new Source Writer seems to have all the necessary fields to match the
new Evidence Explained (as has been noted on the list before.) However some
of the fields are in an order that I would not have used since the display
in some of the on-screen lists can be confusing. For instance, the citation
detail for 1850 (and other) U.S. census have the Roll number field at the
beginning of the citation detail fields, but it appears in a citation at the
end. As a result when you view, for example, the Assigned Sources window, it
appears in the Detail as, "Lake Prairie, 187, 290, 151, 156" etc. (i.e.
name, roll#, page#, Dwelling#, family#, etc.) Is there a way to change the
order of the fields to put the roll number at the end to correspond to where
it appears in the citation?

I also have several other related questions about the Source Writer:

1) Is there a way to create new citation templates which are not covered in
the supplied set, i.e. those from Evidence Explained? (Elizabeth Mills
acknowledges that there were just too many to include every possible
citation in the book.) For instance, the citations for non-US countries are
limited in scope.

2) Is there a way to create new templates to match the arrangements of
citation elements shown in Evidence! (1997), which are still valid, but
weren't covered in Evidence Explained since the two volumes compliment each
other rather than one replacing the other? Many people have Evidence! as a
reference and may never need to move up to Evidence Explained. 

Thanks,

Bill
