This is a kink in the reporting, thanks to this list, that we have identified. Dave B. is working on a solution.
Thanks, Geoff Rasmussen Millennia Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.LegacyFamilyTree.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dede Holden Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 1:39 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Source conversion Geoff, When you follow this procedure, do your reports generate the results you want? Here is the problem I have had with the new Source Writer. The Master Source Text prints on every citation, not just the first time the source is cited. I have chosen the correct option in all the appropriate places, but to no avail. The Source Detail does not print at all in subsequent citations. I have submitted this as a bug report. I thought the problem was related to the fact that I used the Combine button, but I get the same problem with a brand new source entered using the Source Writer. I also tried a new source going back to the Basic Source screen and the results in the report were exactly what I wanted, so I decided the problem must be in the new Source Writer. I do love the new templates. I'm waiting patiently for the kinks to be ironed out.
