I'm having fun entering the documents, although it takes a looonnnggg time sometimes. I already can see the value of doing so. As most of us do, I have some "hmm" questions or preferences that I'm encountering. I hope that by posting them someone may be able to tell me a fix or work-around, or perhaps Elizabeth will let us know that they'll be available in an upcoming version, or at least note them on the "I wanna" list. <g> 1) Why is the hub and screen we view so small? Is there any way to enlarge it? Due to arm problems, I really want to buy a SONY Vaio but it has a much smaller screen than my present laptop and I'm afraid that, even with 20-20 vision, it will be extremely difficult to see when I'm on the road and researching. 2) I've developed a pattern of linking all the names (because sometimes I have to toggle back and forth to my family genealogy program for info and ref. #s, etc.) and *then* proceeding to input the details for each of those individuals. Sometimes, though, I'm unsure which one(s) I've put details in and which ones not. It's especially unnerving when I'm doing this while other distractions are going on, and even more so when there's the default of "yes" or "no" for carrying forward the detail from the previous input I've done. (Not that I want that ability taken out ... no, no, no!! <g>) So I was wondering if, when there's detail for an individual linked to a document (when looking at the document or directory or census screen) either (a) that default could be taken out, or (b) -- which I would think would be easier to do -- simply have an *underscore* show up under the word 'details' on the button for the individual(s) who I've put information into already. It certainly would speed things up according to the way I work, and as I say, maybe there's another way to do it or perhaps, instead, others have this same frustration? 3) Directories: Perhaps my family is even more troublesome and strange than I've already accepted <g>, but I would think others have encountered the same trouble if their family member is listed under more than one spelling in any individual year's city directory. I'll give the true example of my KIENLEN family, who even to today seem unable to decide on one spelling only <g>. Alexander J. Keinlen is listed on page xxx of the St. Louis directory as a deputy sheriff, and it gives his residence address. *However*, he's also listed a few pages later under the more typical Ki-e-nlen; same occupation, same residence. As it's presently set up, the only way to note this that I've found is to include the second listing in the remarks section of his detail screen for this document. It is workable but not my preferred way of doing this. Outside of creating a new "people file" for him under the different spelling -- especially since I KNOW this is the same person -- is there any other way I can handle this to more easily and effectively call attention to the two variant entries? 4) Books: I remember seeing a few messages about books sometime back, but they of course didn't mean anything at the time because I hadn't encountered the situation yet. (Sorry for my impertinence....) Should I enter them under "directories" or under "documents"? I've already determined that for my purposes it will be best to enter the book name as one document and then to link all people in that book and show their individual references. Or is there something I'm missing if I do it that way and maybe I should note the people under individual document file names, or perhaps some other way? It seems at first blush that that would be very cumbersome and time-consuming, to say the least. 5) When I've entered document and linked a person, it's exciting to realize that *there's* that long-lost date for an event on that person (funny when one knows they've already pored over the document several times already...suddenly it jumps out sometimes), or least a better estimation of years. But I've found that only 2 ways to take care of it: wait until I've finished entering details for all people already linked to the document and then exit out and back to the main hub and then entering the "people" index to fix it, or to exit from the document right then and there, completely, and go back to the main hub and to "people" to fix it, and then to re-enter the documents or census or whatever I'm working with and continue with the issue at hand. In other words, I can't just click the sillouette up on the main task bar for people and fix the person from the people index that appears. Why so? Is it a fix I'm missing or something I'm doing or a little flaw with the programming? Anyway, that's it. (For now <g>) I know there will be things I'll think of later, but it was wonderful when I printed out the reports for the work I've done in the last three weeks and to see just how much I really have already accomplished.
