    btw...

     

    About ten years ago some of us were putting our Personal Document Numbers in the Source Definition Screen, Output, Bibliography in { } in the hope that eventually we would be able to generate a sortable list of our sources with our Personal Document Numbers.

    If the PDN in sensitive braces is located at the beginning of the Bibliography template, then the List of Sources report can be sorted on the PDNs since sorting on the Bibliography templates will accomplish what you want.

     

    Unfortunately they are at the end of the Bibliography template. But I can still print the report and sort by title and get the PDN if I landscape and make my Bibliography column wide enough. It just takes more time and ink to print. I just won't be able to sort by PDN but I'm not sure I would ever want to do that anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have not been able to locate any information on the Support Forum to show if anything happened with this subject. It now appears that some are adding a Source Element such as File Reference for this purpose. Has there been any software created to globally move the PDN from one place to the other? I assume if you used a Source Element field you can add it to the Output column in the List of Sources Report to achieve the report. Is it possible to export the report to Excel instead of Word? Thanks for any new information on this subject.

    I haven't used this particular feature of the TMG Utility, but the following is from the Help documentation. It may be more restrictive than you need. Not sure whether it will work on a tag that has more than one citation but only one from that particular source, but certainly worth investigating.
    Set One-Citation Surety sets surety values for tags that have a single citation to a specific source. For example, if a Note tag has a citation to source #29, and no other citations, Set One-Citation Surety can be used to set the surety value for any populated field in the event, P1, P2, Date, Place, or Memo (12DPM).

     

    Thanks--it works but not on tags with another citation. But it caught most of them. I'll catch the rest when I edit my reports.
