"Evidence Explained" says that a web site should not be used as a repository, so I don't. The only time I would have a repository is if it is a brick and mortar location like a genealogical library or personally owned copy. Web documents are digital images, and most templates have that capability. It's hard to find on some until you realize that a book image on the web is considered a reprint, so select book, reprint, online book, and then all the information goes in the right place. I had asked Legacy about it and never got a straight answer. I found it by accident while reading Ms. Mills and she mentioned the reprint issue.
The more I use Legacy the easier it gets, but that's the normal way of things. Sure beats the old paper and pen method I was used to.
