how do I find codes for all the fields?

In the user guide, it doesn't give you all the codes to use for editing the format, as far as I can tell. For example, I want to find the code for newspaper and section. Is there a way to look them up?

If you set the Type of the reference to Newspaper article (pop-up menu in the reference window) you will see the default field names for this Type. If you don't see this as an option, that means we don't provide this Type for that format.

Thanks, I figured out what I was trying to do. I'm still making my way through the user guide, so I didn't notice the Fields pop-up menu in the Formats manager. That would have told me that Newspaper is "j", and I realized that I didn't need to use the Sections field anyway.
