Aye John IoM, Previously when entering a census occupation (Or any item utilising a drop down list) I could press <enter> to move down to the next entry which would remain blank unless I entered something, so it was quite easy to use <enter> to go down several blank entries.

Re: Image Titles - suggested enhancement

Aye jelv,

I use the same method as Chris Read describes.

As for "names?", when entering multiple pages from the same census, end the title with the appropriate page number works for me.

I hope this helps.
