Hi Kenn, Macros, widgets, transclusion, indexes, 3 different types of variables, filter runs, textreferences ... it's all a very ad hoc system and not entirely consistent. It's not straight forward to learn ... or to explain. But the TW gurus can do near miracles with it. So just keep at it, look at other people's code, and eventually stuff will start to click. Hopefully.
