Another way to do this, handy if you won't be using the template more
than once, is to enter in all the common information--editor, book title,
city, publisher, etc.--then close the entry. It will appear with no title
at the top of your database. Then, simply copy it for however many
entries. When you open up these dummy entries, all you have to do is put
in Author, chapter/article title, page numbers. I use this on edited
books and academic journals--and my fingers are really happy not to be
duplicating so much effort.

The comments below have been my experience as well. Kind of frustrating,
but not too bad.
