    I haven't gotten the beta, but look forward to this once it's in a 'regular' version.

    As a hopefully related aside, it can be really hard to specify patents in the quick format pop-up, since it's entirely possible for the same authors to issue different patents or patent applications with the same title, in the same year. When I entered the patent number to resolve this issue, nothing comes up in the suggested documents window below the text entry bar. Am I doing something wrong?? I was surprised to find that searching by patent number didn't work. I have to do trial and error to get the right patent.

    Thanks for any suggestion(s) you may have!
