In trying to test some report behaviour in order to respond to the index

CE,
I believe the limitations you are experiencing are part and parcel of the
type of output you are requesting, rather than a limitation of Legacy.
Asking for a text file will automatically strip / not pick up the coding
which allows for the creation of an index - just as it strips / does not
pick
You people drive on the wrong side of the street anyhow. :-)

Yeah, I thought you might have been thinking of superscripts.
If true (I have no reason to doubt the OP), the OP
Please see my comment in response to Dennis - an INDICES over here is used
as a superscripted number referencing another place, or a power to which a
number may be raised. x squared would have an indices of 2. The
superscripted number referencing a source is an indices.

This thread is NOT ABOUT SOURCES!!! You mentioned that Sources WERE in your
HTML files, so I responded to that.
This thread is about INDICES - Name Index and Location Index.

Correction,
My last post should, of course, have said ".do not have indices - why
should they when they don't have Sources"

Of course the Individual Report, Family Group Records, Descendant Chart,
Ancestor Chart amd Lineage Chart do not have sources - why should they when
they don't have Sources, where would they be used?
I have already said in a previous post that .txt files do *not* allow
superscripts. That is
You said: "HTML does allow indices and have yet to find them not appearing
as superscripts, and I produce many thousands of Legacy generated HTML
pages each month."

All programs, whether genealogy ones or otherwise, can only produce what is
allowed by software specifications. For examaple it is not possible to have
indices in a .txt file, the number itself will appear, but not
superscripted. Nor will such a file allow diagrams. In general, and I am not

I agree totally. I think the report tool should be used for personal reports

I am not asking Legacy to be a word processor. I am asking that, when a
report is Previewed and there are check boxes for printing various types of
files, that those options be produced in whatever format which has a

A pdf file is an image, similar to a jpg file. If it is created from a text
file it has a text layer that can be indexed and modified, etc. It's quite
easy to move a text or rtf file into pdf format, but a totally different
matter to go the other way.
I think the problem is that Legacy is a geneal
This is what I do.
- I put the cemetery name in the Location field instead of the Event Addresses

have created multiple Locations, one for each section of the cemetery

- So my locations look lik
The problem / BUG is that when the report is Previewed or in PDF, The
Index/Indices is shown/printed. When it is Text or RTF (if allowed) the
Index/Indices are NOT!
If a report shows something in Preview, it needs to print it in ALL
permissible formats!

"Evidence Explained" says that a web site should not be used as a
repository, so I don't. The only time I would have a repository is if it is
a brick and mortar location like a genealogical library or personally owned
copy. Web documents are digital images, and most templates have that
capability.
Got a reply from Legacy and their response was basically "like it or lump
it." Except I can't "lump it" so I guess it's "like it or split it." Too bad
because I really think it would make a census much easier to cite.

Actually, you can open a GEDCOM file with legacy. But Legacy will
