Marie:
I do believe you've found something that's at least a small improvement over
the reports we've been getting. Could you do another test and see if it
works? It's like this:
1. Recreate the Legacy report you did before that had source notes mixed
into the report. Create an RTF file,
And if you restore the v.6 backup you'll lose all the work you've done
since you installed v.7.

I have tried this in OOo and whilst the footnotes transfer fine to the end of
the report the references are still incorrect.
There is a possibility (and I put it no stronger than that) that the problem
arises after there have been multiple sources attached to one Event. I need to

No, you don't need to install v6 to restore the backup files. They can be
restored in v7 and opened after the conversion process.
However if you have a backup from v7, then you would need to restore the
files in v7 and then create a gedcom to go to v6.
Thanks for using Legacy.

Ruth,
The programmers have been really busy working on bugs the past couple of
months. If you're patient enough, you may be pleasantly surprised.
The list is too long for me to specify what has been fixed but they've
worked on reports, SourceWriter and the Help file at the very least as well
Sherry,
Have they fixed the source template used for the Application for Social
Security Acoount ?

Not if she imports the v7 file into the restored v6 file or vice versa. Just
make sure that the files have different names and that a backup is done
before the import and again before the merge.

Yes that works - both ways. One can use either the .fdb file or the backup .zip
