Click in the field for lowest level that you want to recall (Detail, City, etc.) and press F2. That opens a list of places starting at that level. Type a few letters of the address, and the list will search to the desired area. Select the one you want, and that level and all higher ones will be populated.

 

Note that this system allows you to fill in one level, say Detail, then move to the next level and search for previously entered values at that and higher levels. Thus you can recall only part of a place entry.

 

If you are entering the same place values successively, you can also use F3 to recall the most recent 15 entries in each field. The F3 (Repeat) function works field-by-field, not for that and higher levels like the F2 (Search) function.

Dear Forum,

Please advise how to fill in the address on a tag with an existing place name in the Master Place List? I am sure one isn't required to re-type a repeating place name each time a new tag is built when the place name is already in the list.

Thanks,

There are times when two or more sources provide conflicting evidence about the same event. Where should the reasons for selecting one over the other be recorded so the explanation will be reproduced in narrative reports. For example if a place of birth is different from two sources it could be that one is more reliable because of the informant. The reason for accepting one over the other should be noted, but where? In the citation detail, memo or perhaps somewhere else?

Thanks,

Buzz
