Thanks, Lee. Sorry about the terminology. Actually, what I'm looking at is under Properties>General>Topic (which is "untitled)" on all the original exhibits). But yes, it might be nice to have captions (Properties>Description>Caption) also. Yes, going to be tedious (unless Donald's suggestion pans out). We have 290 such exhibits in just one of six projects.

We have >290 such exhibits in just one of six projects. Yeah, I can see why you used "title" or as I'd call it, the name of the Exhibit. Essentially what the Abbreviation is for Sources. But, that's even easier to add than Captions or Descriptions since that tab is presented when the Exhibits Properties window is first opened. Still, it can be tedious if there are a lot. One way to speed up the process is to have a text file of the Exhibit names open in NOTEPAD (or whatever) and copy/paste to the Topic field. This assumes you already have such a file (or close to it). If not, it wouldn't be worth creating one in my opinion. Either way, I would not think the process would take more than a couple or three hours for a few hundred Exhibits. A lot would depend on the length of the topic, but having the Exhibit Log set to All Exhibits would allow you to add a Topic and step to the next Exhibit in 20 to 30 seconds. It could take a little longer if you have to decide on the content. But, Donald may be right that PathWiz may handle the job. Although, a quick glance doesn't appear to disclose that it would. Lee
