Some fields are not required and I don'...Randy, <br />Some fields are not required and I don't think those need to be marked blank. The ones that have "required" in them before you start typing need either a word or to be recorded as blank.<br /><br />If you want to get rid of the extra lines in a record -- let's say you only need to use 6 of the 12 in an obituary index -- there's an icon just above the indexing field that will allow you to delete the lines you don't need. (It looks like a table with 4 boxes, one highlighted in red with an "X" next to it. It's on the right side of the string of icons.) Click on that it will eliminate one line at a time. It takes less time to delete the whole line than to mark each box in the line blank. <br /><br />I don't know those explanations answer your questions or not.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-77109577856078468032014-02-26T14:08:28.235-08:002014-02-26T14:08:28.235-08:00Where is the source information?

If this material is just going to be in a miscellaneous obituaries collection with no specific source, it will be nearly useless -- and deceptive, since your first item gave no indication that it was an extract from an obituary.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-82923684239363640682014-02-26T11:37:19.311-08:002014-02-26T11:37:19.311-08:00There are three ways to enter the official "b...There are three ways to enter the official "blank" message. <br /><br />1. while in the field when in Windows (I don't know about Macs) press Crtl+B and it will record the field as blank<br /><br />2. you can right click while in the field and blank should be one of the options that come up, you click on that and it is entered.<br /><br />3. finally if you look on the icon line below the image there are a set of little rectangles (I guess they are supposed to represent one cell or more in a spreadsheet -- something like that). Hover the mouse over the one with a single cell and a red X and you will see that it represents one field blank so press on it.<br /><br />The other options in that area allow you to say that all of the record is blank or unreadable.<br /><br />I agree, not obvious in the instructions.ponderingthebiblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333474427767728408noreply@blogger.com
