Brothers Keeper creates beautiful reports (and has for years and years )
with Footnotes or Endnotes with the option of no duplicates, so every
item throughout points to the same endnote, be it one or one thousand,
which share the same source.
Legacy has so many helpful and outstanding features that it is hard to
understand why their standard for reports is so very low.

I've also been frustrated by not getting real endnotes in word
processing documents. But then I found out it's a bit more complex than
I thought. When you export them as real (editable) endnotes, you then
get an endnote listed for each and every citation. In other words,
endnote # 1 no longer applies to 6 different items. The number of
endnotes increases dramatically. In some cases, this may be fine, but it
really ruins the ability to print working reports with endnotes of
reasonable length. I think I read somewhere that there's a utility that
will convert them back to "unique endnotes" (the ones were note #1
applies to 6 items), but I'm not sure if it's free or if it's only
designed for specific software (genealogical or word processing). In any
case, it makes a significant extra step on every report.

The complaint is that it doesn't output into full word processing
capability; a specific problem for me is the inability to add, remove and
move around footnotes.
If you are going to create a report that meets publishing standards, you
must have this capability. I don't believe the test is between Legacy
and
Family Tree Maker. As far as I know, the only program with a robust
report
creation component is The Master Genealogist. I would give my eye teeth
if
Legacy offered the same capablities. Otherwise, when I finally get
around
to publishing, I am going to have to export everything to TMG then learn
the
ropes of that program.
I am hoping against hope a new release of Legacy will come out just in
time
to save me.
