TOA -- cannot edit selected text for long cite in 2002 SP3

L

Larry Root

I've edited my catagroies so that "9" is labeled "D.C. Circuit Cases." But
the same problem occurs whether I've edited them or not.

I then:
select "Insert/reference/table/TOA/ mark citiation.
press find next cite.
select the full citation:

Spagnola v. Mathis, 859 F.2d 223, 227-28 (D.C.Cir 1988)

click in the selected text box.
When I try to edit the text , I can add text, but the deletions DO NOT SHOW
in the selected text box. (But, if I delete text that I've added, that
shows.) Using the cursor, and delete button, I deleted ", 227-28" but it
remains in view.
Nothing appears in the long citation box.
I edit the short citation and click on mark all.
The following field is inserted:

{ TA \1 "Spagnola v. Mathis, 859 F.2d 223 (D.C.Cir 1988)" \s "Spagnola, 859
F.2d" \c 9 }

But, if I encounter another full citation format of that case, it does not
come up with the existing entry.

How do I get the edits to display in the selected text box?
How do I get the long citation to show?

Is there a good article on TOAs?

Thank you for any suggestions or advice you can offer.
Very respectfully,
Larry
