Just checked my FTST file. I can see my Mom's death certificate that is
attached as an exhibit to her death tag in FTST. Double clicking on it
enlarges it and makes it readable. Now I need to get all my source
information into TMG, a formidable task!

When I enter a source into UFT I almost always enter a transcript and lists
of surnames and locations mentioned in the source. This allows me to later
find sources based on those criteria. Having the transcript typed in,
though tedious at data entry time, usually means I don't have to look at the
paper source again and I always have it at my fingertips. UFT also has a
field for source annotations for notes. This all seems to work in TMG also
by using for example, source memo M1 for surnames, M2 for locations, M3 for
transcripts, etc., but it's not quite as user-friendly as in UFT where these
things have labeled fields. Also, UFT beats TMG in being able to generate
"pick lists" of sources and in being able to view sources, including their
transcripts, from event (tag) entry screens. Hopefully these features will
be in TMG v5. Is any of this source viewing available in FTST???
