Subject: TMG-L: Source data

You will probably be able to tell by my letter that I am a newbie to TMG. I
am working on a small Practice dataset to try and get an understanding of how
the program works before importing my main dataset. My question concerns how
do I include the _data_ from _each_ source. For instance: I have 4 sources
for a birth tag, all give the same date but are presented differently (more
details etc.). I would like to _quote_ from each source. How do I do that??
If I put that info into the memo field for that tag it is not connected to
the source. I could type it in manually for each but that seems redundant.
Another point that I should mention is that each of these 4 sources will be
used by many individuals so I will not want to add data for just one
individual to that source. Therefore, under the Tag Entry Screen I used the
Source Citation Detail for this type of data which _seems_ to produce what I
want. Are there some concerns that I am missing that I should be aware of??
Is this CD unlimited? Can I make the CD screen larger (it's really small,
unlike the memo screen). Is this CD included in a GEDCOM?

In appreciation of any help that you can provide,
Susanne
