Melanie,
The Film ID is the repository's method of describing/identifying the film, such as "FHL microfilm" for the Family History Library. When the Film ID is not automatically filled in for you by the SourceWriter, there will be some sample text in the field giving you an idea of what to fill in there. The FHL Film Number is the actual microfilm number as given by the FHL. The details should go in the fields in Step 3 of the SourceWriter. In many of the templates, the v., p., etc. are filled in for you. If those aren't included, and you want to make the citation more understandable, by all means, add to it. One thing I like about Evidence Explained is that throughout, Elizabeth Mills suggests that the citations can be flexible and adjusted depending upon our needs. Also, just because there is a field, doesn't mean that you MUST fill it in. They are guidelines to help you be consistent, but we should be careful that the templates don't run us.

Also, I'm assuming we're supposed to write in v., pg. no. etc. so that they are clear on the citation? Are these the standards, or should it be vol. pp. etc?
