Cynthia N. Russell,
It sounds like you'll want to make use of some Legacy Reports and edit
them yourself in Word.
So experiment with the Legacy Report Options and save them to RTF (Rich
Text format) for opening in your Word Processor. If your sources have
been entered in Legacy as Sources then the RTF will include the sources
though in an RTF you can add more. Note Legacy has the Publishing Centre
where you can combine a number of Legacy reports and add Special text
chapters and/or leave pages for text you've developed in Word.
Note Options - Customise 7.9 relates to sources in RTF output and in the
Report Options there are options for pictures in RTF output. I think you
need to choose the RTF output before clicking on Report Options button
for these to become active.
How useful the RTF Report will be depends a lot on how you've been
entering the data and what attention you've paid to Event Sentence
Definitions and using the occasional Sentence Override for Events. If
you haven't been checking output over the 30 years of collecting, it may
not be much use and you may only want to incorporate reports with
minimum options.
If you've been paying attention to output people can get amazingly
polished results, including using the new Story features in Legacy 9.
If you have been sourcing in Legacy but decide to do all your writing in
Word, then you can copy and paste Sources from the Assigned Sources
page. Highlight the source citation you want and copy from the Preview
pane at the bottom of the Assigned Sources screen. Note the radio
buttons so you can show as it would Print rather than all details.
Hope that helps,
Cathy

Hoping someone will be able to assist me as I begin to write my first
Legacy Ancestor Book. I have been researching for over 30 years and, I
am now ready to get started with all of the sourced information I have
accumlated both throughout the United States and abroad.
My book will have various sections and I would like to begin and
sourcing my patriot's Revolutionary War service. Not sure how to do
footnotes for the passages I want to copy directly. I am a retired
English teacher, so I am not asking how to do footnotes. I want to
know if I should do my written portions in a Word document . . . and
do I do my footnotes at the same time? Or is there a format within
Legacy to accomplish that?
Keeping my fingers crossed to find a patient, kind and knowledgeable
person to assist me in answering my questions. I am not in any hurry
to receive an answer, as I have a lot to accomplish, but, I also know
that beginning correctly will enhance my willingness to continue to
completion. Thanking you in advance for ready my request,
Cynthia D
