I am happy to say I've finally figured out how to get Legacy to "almost" do
what I think it should in the "word processing" department. As a former
skeptic of the Events fields (preferring Notes, but then with the problem of
inadequate citation to multiple sources for multiple facts), I discovered (with
a little help from this list) the [Notes] [Sources] coding structure for
Events. It is easy with this structure to come close to the the free-flowing
narrative of word processing.
Now, if only the marriage information would print where it should in a
narrative report, and footnotes could be exported where they belong (at the
bottom of the page, not at the end of the narrative), it would require much
less clean-up in a word processor...
