IOW, source the ultimate source (repository of the image), and comment the immediate source (secondary person who supplied image to you directly). In that case, SourceWriter works just fine.
My question about SW in Legacy was BECAUSE there is no template for "source from a source." I can do single sources just fine; it’s more complicated when you're crediting two sources in the same citation (which is what my understanding was the proper thing to do... but maybe it's my understanding that was flawed).

I usually add a Comment to the effect that the image was supplied by X. You can add a Source Comment or a Detail Comment, or both, whichever you deem appropriate. > > And finally, once I’ve figured out the output format I’m supposed to > have, how do I get that result in Legacy? You don't need to worry about the format because Legacy does all the formatting for you. If you are using SourceWriter just fill in whatever fields are appropriate (*) and you will see a Preview of the output as you go along. This may also happen with Basic Sourcing but it's been so long since I've used that, I've forgotten! (*) Probably a good idea to remind people again that you do not necessarily need to fill in EVERY field, nor even worry about a field name possibly not describing the data you are entering into that field. > Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
