Kirsten, I have largely left comments in written reports to others as I am not a regular user of them. However, I have had a look at the Descendant Report produced as an rtf and viewed in Open Office. One thing stands out and I would ask you to clarify what you mean by "Source Repetions" - is it the same as my comment about "no ibid" ?
The Family file was almost a new one comprising 7 generations with only 3 generations recorded using the old style sourcing. Descendant Report: No pictures: "If an event has multiple citations" - checked. 1. Sources as Footnotes: I don't like this style - but that is personal taste. Seems OK but no ibids hence the same consecutive sources quoted in full. Old style sources - ibids were used. 2. End Notes after each generation - start a new page: No sources at all 3. As end notes at end: No ibids (as above) 4. Bibliography: Tried this and it seems OK. If necessary I would be happy to send you copies of my results off-list for your comments. Also if you are using a different report please let me know, Ron Ferguson _____________________________________________________________________ *New* Insert Pictures Into your Web Pages - Blogs http://www.fergys.co.uk View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.
