No trouble, just hope I can help.
I am on Legacy 7.0.0.53 using Windows XP SP2.
For my test, I am using a family where I have an obituary for the wife that
gives 4 details, so it is sourced (identically) 4 times.
When I select endnotes, all 4 have the same footnote number which appears
just once
Tried to use the TO-DO feature and it locked-up again. Any suggestions???
Sent the follow on 2 Jul08, and never received a response. Also, submitted
a BUG REPORT???

This may be an obvious response, but I've had this same problem in the

It cleared up the problem for me.

I am more of a lumper with fewer Master Sources.

If you are undecided as to whether to lump or split sources, I suggest
splitting them. If you change your mind later, it is fairly easy to
combine split sources into one, but difficult to separate lumped
