It can :-)

Hint: On the "Source Template Index" window, the 'Show Evidence
Explained page and section numbers' option actually extends the list
with a rehash of the templates organised by Section and Page number
within the book.

Hint: On the "Source Template Index" window, make sure tick the 'Show
Evidence Explained page and section numbers' has been ticked. Then....
<drum roll> ....Type the string 'Section 6.' into the textbox at the top
and click the Search button. A search string starting with 'Page '
together with a relevant page number from the book also works.

Viola! A template selected that should correspond to that page or
section of the book. They're all there. Not in the order you might
expect - page 100 comes before 99 and section 10.10 is first.

No, it won't. But it does provide some hints.

Yes! That's the way it should be. Personal choice. Play with all the
templates on the Sample database, that's what it's there for! So you can
make mistakes and learn from them.

See above.
