Marie: Thanks so much for checking this out. Your results are a little different from mine but sound vaguely like what Ruth is experiencing. If you can get a decent RTF report, it's possible you might be on the track of something that could help us both out, at least temporarily. I don't care at all for the "sources as footnotes" format even in one-generation reports since my records are heavily sourced and insertion of the footnotes causes a single family group to be split up over several pages. I haven't worked with linked footnotes in Word before; it seems to resist my attempts to move them all to the end of the report but there may be an option somewhere to change that. I'll keep experimenting. It's interesting, though, that the formatting of the source citations themselves seems to be better in the footnotes version than in the endnotes version. Oh, my. This is like having to learn about changing a fan belt when I just want to get in the car and drive!
And yes, I've reported the bug(s?) and they've been confirmed but that's been weeks ago so I don't feel hopeful about a quick fix. It'll surely be released the day after I go back to v.6. Probably when more users try producing reports in a format for editing there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Thanks again for your help.

First time checked sources as footnotes. Beautiful, perfect. Second time I checked sources as endnotes. What a mess. The notes are all mixed in with the report, in no particular order. It didn't seem to make any difference whether the sources were written with Source Writer or not. Has support mentioned if this is a bug that will hopefully be worked out in an update in the near future or is it a bug that we'll have to wait for a while to be fixed?
