Hi Barton, Yes I went to the same template. Yes the Repository line is blank as are all the fields. When a repository is pre-entered, it limits the use of the template. If I were using Land and Property records they'd be Australian or English records and I'd have to work out which template was the most appropriate - whether one of these land and property records or something else.
I can add a repository as you describe and don't get a freeze. Re your query earlier about another number. EE says at the end of section 11.23: CITING DOCUMENT NUMBERS As illustrated by the Rowland example in note 3 above, many U.S. land office files have multiple document numbers—application numbers, claim numbers, register and receiver numbers, final certificate numbers, patent numbers, etc. When you cite a number, you should include any descriptive words that are attached to that number. I was using "setting" loosely to refer not only to Legacy settings but also to computer settings. Re Legacy, for a start I use Legacy with Australian English. Even that sometimes makes a difference.
