When we generate the Dutch .chm help file we also add a Table of contents (we have four tabs) that makes it somewhat easier to find the main subjects. Link to the Dutch help file: http://legacynederlands.com/downloadv7/legacy7-nederlands.zip Evert

You're right that searching on "How to Document Your Information" in quotes gives that entry as the first finding on the result list. However, for someone new to Legacy (and perhaps not familiar with the use of quotation marks in searches) to make the multiple mental leaps from looking for "sources" in the first tab (Index), moving to the second tab (Search), then composing the phrase "How to Document Your Information" (or at lease "document your information" or "how to document", etc.), and enclosing that in quotes, that's presupposing quite a lot. Incidentally leaving the quotes out in the Search tab search field gives "What's New in the Deluxe Edition". It's easy for those of us who already know that the heading, "How to Document Your Information" exists to figure out how to find that phrase by searching on it (or part of it) enclosed in quotes in the Search tab, but not so simple when one is not even aware that phrase is significant in finding useful information about source entry. The sad part of all this is that the information is there, and in a very useful format, but not easily "findable".
