What is a transcription error?

Where is "Not a Name" button?

What if a field contains multiple names?

What to do with no-name words within a field containing a name?

What do all of the individual boxes in the color-highlighted field mean? are they necessary?

Can we change the size of the highlighted field or temporarily turn it off to not interfere with reading the names?
