Subject: [TMG] Sources did you know?

Lots of discussion on sources. For those new to TMG, did you know you can
just TYPE what you want a source full footnote, short footnote and
bibliography to say directly into the source's output forms? (on the SOURCE
DEFINITION-OUTPUT FORM tab) No need to worry about templates, or source
elements, just type in exactly what you want each source field to say and
TMG will use that instead of the data in the source data fields.

Now there are downsides, you can't search for all sources with certain
criteria in a certain source data field. For instance, I'd lose the ability
to search for every source that uses "Rutherford County, TN" in its SECOND
LOCATION source element. But I admit, I haven't used that feature all that
much anyway. <G>

Just thought I'd throw that idea out in case it might help someone in the
future.
