Simply type your search word into the box above the Go and Search buttons. Then click on one of those buttons (or hit enter).

The function of the go button is to display a page directly, instead of first having to select it from the search result page. In other words, it allows you to quickly navigate from page to page without following links.

Search for a phrase by enclosing it in double quotation marks.
  
Regarding footnotes:  In the French text, series 1 notes (a, b, c,...) are "apparatus notes" and they can and should be omitted in the English translation.  Series 2 notes (1, 2, 3,..) are my notes, and should be retained; series 3 notes (* or other such signs, with text usually beginning: "note de l'auteur...") are those written by the authors themselves, and also should be retained.  Some mechanism, such as inserting the series 3 note text within curley brackets {thus}, could be used to handle the text of series 3 notes.  An example of a series 3 note is in [[Girard0712|doc. 712]] (formerly 713), paragraph 9, the note (1).
 
That way you only have one set of footnotes (my series 2 notes), the explanatory and cross-reference notes that I your humble editor wrote.
 
  
To learn how to put footnotes in a letter read the [[Help:Editing|Editing help]] page

You can use a wildcard *, at the end of a search term only. To search for pages with the words "boat" or "boats" search like this: "boat*". You cannot use "*boat" to find Riverboat, etc.

See the example page Girard0148 for a proposed format.

Please name documents from "Lettres reçues d’Océanie" as Girard####, i.e. as Girard followed by the document number expressed as four digits. Hence doc 148 is Girard0148.

So, if you want to check if the document you are working on has been translated, just type Girard imediately followed by the appropriate 4 digit number (i.e. with no space between the two) into the search box to the left of this.

If the page does not exist you have the opportunity of creating it and putting your translation there.

The CD of the letters we got from Charley at Suva is already out of date. He has removed a duplicate letter - formerly doc 341 which duplicated doc 414 (new numbering) and hence everything after has been renumbered. Two new doucments have been added docs 1297 and 1307.
