Using Legacy 6.0 & 20 Jan 2006 Build
When I and a number of other users reported this problem several years
ago it was put on the "to be fixed list," but the anomaly is still in
existence. I searched the list archives but did not find anything on the
resolution of this issue.
Whenever I enter information in parentheses at the end of a source detail
statement Legacy inserts a period after the statement and before the
parentheses. For example I enter : Samuel Alden, register number 251
(1889). What I get in the source preview screen and in print is: Samuel
Alden, register number 251.(1889). I don't get the unwanted period if I
use brackets rather than parentheses; however, brackets have an entirely
different connotation in genealogy.
I have many sources similar to the above where there are no page numbers.
The data is set out by register numbers within a one-year period. I
prefer to have the year set off by parentheses for clarity and emphasis.
There are times when I wish to enter other data in parentheses at the end
of the statement as well.
Is there something I should be doing differently to eliminate the
superfluous period (other than a redo of hundreds of source detail
sentences)?
Thanks!
