You can customize how it prints out by default or per individual citations! For the defaults goto Options>Customize>and on the Sources Tab under Master Source defaults pick "First time" and RTF Citation Style the first radio button will probably fill your needs. Under Source Detail Defaults you can set what the source defaults to when it is created. The rest of the boxes are self explanatory. The source Surety is a handy feature also. To see what the numbers mean just look in the help file under "Surety Level" Hope this helps, Russ Strong

It takes a lot of space in the report and is redundant to the max!

Each letter gives information about a number of people in the family. I wish there was some sort of general category where we could put information and material that pertains to the family as a whole, rather than having to always assign to one family member. I guess its just the way my brain works. Thanks for all the ideas and comments.
