I am editing a book which includes the Apostles' Creed and so tagged it using that datatype. But there is text after the Apostles Creed.... How do I tell Logos when line 12 (the last) is done?

I didn't know there was a datatype for the Apostles' Creed. Normally to tag datatypes, you use the syntax {{field-on:<datatype>}}...{{field-off:<datatype>}}, so presumably, if there is a datatype for the creed (which I don't see listed here), you would put {{field-on:creed}} (or whatever the datatype is) at the beginning and {{field-off:creed}} after the end of line 12.
Where did you find the datatype for the creed?
I got the existence of the type from http://wiki.logos.com/List_of_Datatypes
Milestones based on "aposcrd" work... Did a quick try of turning the field off and it didn't work... Tried also turning it on using the command you gave and it didn't work.
Compiler warning of "[Warning] Unrecognized field aposcrd"
Tried the long form "ApostlesCreed". It is still not a recognized field.
I have not played with any of the {{}} commands before, but it looks like "fields" are different than datatypes.
Fields are not the same as datatypes, so Rosie's suggestion won't work. (To be precise about terminology, it's better to say "milestone" rather than "reference tag", which may have been what's confused Rosie - and confused me momentarily [:)]!). I haven't yet managed to turn off milestones (although I haven't tried experimenting much). Certainly there's no documented way to do so.
If you feel like experimenting, I'd try blank milestones e.g. [[@apsocrd:]] or [[@apsocrd]] or try something imaginative! If you find out something that works, I'd be glad to know!
Thanks Mark. I had tried one of those (without the colon) and it didn't work. Also tried [[@aposcrd:0]] and it didn't work.
At your advice I tried with the colon - didn't work.
I know REAL Logos4 books can do it.
Wonder about repeating a milestone previously used in Personal Book ?

We have a definitive answer. You can't (yet, anyway): http://community.logos.com/forums/p/43798/330866.aspx#330866
