Curiously, the sentence definitions, while there, are different from the sentence definitions for "Census" (which I had modified). They are of the form [EventName]: [Desc], [Date], [Place].[Sources] [Notes] On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 2:27 AM, Jenny M Benson <ge...@cedarbank.me.uk>wrote: > Byron wrote > >I have found a variety of ways to add/create/change events for my > >needs.
