As helpful as SourceWriter s to me, I find myself reading the book for a better understanding. SourceWriter is a template driven sourcing system that makes it easy or you to select the correct input screen so that you enter all the ieces needed to correctly cite any source of information in the housands of formats that exist for them. The information you enter s correctly and precisely formatted to match the genealogy industry tandards for source citations. SourceWriter allows the user to simply enter complete details about a ource, without having to resort to the book to get the proper format. f you wish, you can stop using SourceWriter. I am assuming you have just one or two sources you made using ourcewriter, just a few anyway? If you no longer wanted them, what I ould do is write them down. And delete them. Then re-enter them sing the simple sourcing system. Professional biographers and genealogist will note much more nformation in their sources than most people who want to use just the imple source system ever will. I changed all my sources over to ourceWriter, and it was a long task. I am glad I did. But I referred o "Evidence Explained" quite a bit. Thank you.

Trying to enter simple details about a will, it asks irrelevant questions such as whether the document is bound or loose, is it state level (what!)? I have many wills, mainly photocopies from local record offices (who don't state what format a will is in...). Some are PCC, some at a different level of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Sourcewriter just isn't applicable here. How do I escape and get back to a simpler, more appropriate way of entering sources? (Up to now, they've just been included in my notes, but I thought I would try and systematise them more).
