Thanks Alan,
I've had a good look at Transcriber and it looks like it will do what we
require. The entities feature looks like it will be particularly useful
when I manage to successfully redefine the values, which at the moment
generates an error if any substantial changes are made.
I've had a look at the xml in the trs files and feel that I should be able
to manipulate the values appropriately.
cheers
