Paula,
The wording "appear each time" no doubt could be improved but it works the way
I described.
Personally, I prefer the abreviated version for subsequent entries as I hate to
see the same thing printed over and over again. This can be a problem on Web
pages, particularly if someone is o
Right now my census records are named this way.
'USA, IL, Cook, Chicago, 1930'. Whenever the converter is operational (if
ever), I will convert all my stuff. The multiple field types should make it
possible to find all Chicago or all 1930, or other data choices. Because of my

I think I understand you & will look at the archives (possibly tomorrow as my
bedtime is fast approaching).
However, if I had to describe the data I'm having trouble with to fit in with
your breakdown..

Ron, We are almost on the same wavelength. Try this:
On Family View, click on the Books Icon and then Edit Source (not Detail).
On the right it also shows how the Source will appear in the first and
subsequent citations.

My goal was to "store" the images (which are pages for various localities in a
county) at the detail level rather than at the master (county) level. In the
future, I would have one source master per year/state/county, with the detail
citations indicating the locality, etc... that seems to
Ronald, That's how I thought it worked, too, because frankly it doesn't make
sense to do it any other way. There's probably a different explanation, and I
hope it is not "operator error" again. I would hate to have wasted people's
time on this list!
Thanks,

Paula,
Actually, No. Legacy does not attach the the pictures to either Events or
Sources but only stores the paths, which will be only a few bytes each.
The multimedia backup does store the pics. and I vaugely remember reading
something about the variation in the size of the multimedia files

Today I did some work "tidying up" my census master sources and citations.
Last night after much consideration, I decided to keep the masters at the
county level, and store either images or text at the detail citation level.
Consequently, for about 10 master sources, this afternoon I "moved"
Although I have both Access and OO database, I have no experience of
using either programme - it simply hasn't proved relevant to my
computer needs. Is it possible that this method of combining sources
will be available in Legacy at any time?

Paula,
On the surface, this problem sounds like it is the same problem that was
discussed on the list back in March and then earlier, regarding subsequent
citations. There are some bugs logged regarding this. One thread in the
archive that you might want to look at is "Effect of Master Source
Thank you very much Richard. Appreciate it.

I had a look at this to see if it would work in OpenOffice. In principle it
