Aha... I use the census source writer templates. Explains a bit of our disconnect. But maybe part of the reason your endnotes consume so many pages is your desire to have a citation print for every field sourced on an individual? Well, again it does boil down to personal preference, and I think you will like Legacy's flexibility. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams

I have been using the Basic Source templates and not the SourceWriter. This is my first serious attempt in becoming familiar with Legacy, but the SourceWriter is similar to that used in FTM. Both yield a bloated foot/endnote. I have one database that yields 35 pages of endnotes with nearly all being one line. The templet approach would considerable considerably more pages and be harder to follow for the less experienced. I am at a decision point with FamilyTreeMaker. Either I change programs, and Legacy looks to be the best option, or build a state-of-the-art XP machine and stay with v16 of FTM. FTM v16 is not stable in Vista and researchers with Win7 say forget it. Latter version of FTM are similar to RootsMagic and designed around marketing, not ease of use. So much for the soap box. Would you point me to the 2009 archives and I will see if I can master the master and detail files.
