Re: [LegacyUG] Footnotes
Hi Cathy, Thank you for this information on footnotes. I thought I might be overlooking a way to do this, but now I know to put some abbreviated source name in brackets as I write. Jan Hi Jan, You've hit a weakness of the program. Many would like the facility to source bits of notes. However, all the Notes in Legacy are only footnoted at the end. You need to put some abbreviated source information (abbreviated source name for example) in brackets throughout the Notes to show which source refers to which bit. An alternative is to use an Event and get a narrative flow by the way you order the events.

When I went to Descendant Narrative to preview what I had written, I noticed the 3 sources I had used were all numbered at the last word of my notes. My marriage notes have 3 paragraphs and each paragraph has a different source. Is there a way to get a footnote number at the end of each paragraph rather than all grouped together at the end of the last paragraph? Thank you.

Re: [LegacyUG] Footnotes
What about recording this information as an Event/Fact within the Marriage Information? That way you can add a source to each Fact.

Re: [LegacyUG] Footnotes
Mitch, I am considering what you have suggested. Right now, I use the Event/Fact for stating the date and location of the wedding and then Notes for the details of the wedding.

RE: [LegacyUG] Footnotes
Jan; Unfortunately, sourcing is one of Legacy's weak points. Personally, I do not use their preformatted reports at all. I have several basic reports set up in MS Word and I use these as *templates* for my report formats. The problem I have with Legacy's reporting is that the format is never what I require and editing the preformatted wording takes just as much time if not longer than to create the wording myself. Also the Register and Modified Register reports are not exactly to the standards set out by NEHGS (creators of the Register style) and NGS (who use the NGS style sometimes referred to as a modified Register style). While to most this is not important, it is to me and other professionals who require our reports to conform more precisely to current standards.

Re: [LegacyUG] Footnotes
I certainly agree about sourcing. Linda, Are you at all willing to share or sell your source templates?? It would be a great benefit for a lot of us!
