hi all, well last night I discovered this amazing thing called a template. grin. For anyone wondering it's a way to show databases and similar things. To create one, go to keyword and select create a document. For the blog or whatever example select a text document (keyword type.) In your document (call it anything you want) press backspace enter 2-3-4-6 (qt shortcut?) and select asociated database or whatever it is. select your journal database and hit enter. Now, as an example type subject and go to the template menu again. select insert field and select subject. now hit enter and type posted on and go to template menu and select insert field. Insert your date field and type at then go to template menu, insert field, time. now hit entr a couple times and go to the template menu and insert whatever you called your document field where you put your entry. now start another new paragraph and type current mood: and go to template menu and insert your mood field. save your document. You now have a template you can export entries with! now when you expot with that template it will look something like:
