In Details Field I add a specific reference, such as page number, film reel number, title of book, details of sender of email etc. In the Text/Comments field I add the text of the source if required. I don't always add the text because sometimes it is too long - or perhaps add it but untick the box to add the text to the citation so it doesn't print out on reports. If the text is simply the name or date then I don't add it. However, if that particular source has provided additional information (e.g. I might have had name as Mary J BROWN fro one source and learned that J was for Jane from another) I make a note of the additional or changed information in the Text/Comments field.

Once the difference between the two and how do you use them?
