I'm using Build 6.0.0.117 of December 2006 and do not plan to upgrade until
Version 7 is issued. I (and others) have reported a problem with an
inappropriate period (punctuation) now for several years. The last promise
we had for a fix was in December 2006. I've reviewed the revision histories
on the Legacy website and do not see this issue addressed. I would really
like to see it fixed by Version 7. I have many occasions where only a year
in parentheses is appropriate in either the master source publication facts
(where the date is entered here because it is not part of the title) or the
source detail. Below are some made-up and abbreviated examples. These
periods stand out like a sore thumb in report citations. Are any of you
still having the problems outlined below?
Thanks,
Kay Fordham
Source Detail Example:
Entry: Joe Blow death certificate #12345 (1939)
Results: Joe Blow death certificate #12345.(1939)
If you use [1939] you don't have the problem; however square brackets have a
different connotation. If you add any text before or after the date in
parentheses you don't have the problem.
--------------------------
Master Source Example:
Entry in Title: Joe Blow death certificate #12345
Entry in Publication Facts: 1939
Results: Joe Blow death certificate #12345.(1939)
If you add any text before or after the date in parentheses you don't get
the superfluous period.
