Hopefully Someone else can answer that question. I have 1800 Basic and 25 SW, so the inner workings of SW is new to me. Sorry.

Hi Richard, I appreciate your assistance with this but maybe I wasn't clear enough. What I am referring to are the choices that you have WITHIN SourceWriter. If I go to SW to create a new source - in this case a book - first I choose "Books" from the Type of Source list, then I use the drop down list to choose whether the book is authored or edited, then I select the Type of Author, and then a drop-down box appears that asks me to Select the Medium. One of the choices of medium is "basic format". My question is, does "basic format" in this context refer to a hard copy of the book?
