Jenny, There are just a few templates where the Comments field appears within the Source Info tab. We include it there because Elizabeth Mills suggested that an explanation/evaluation of the source be included with the citation. You are correct that whatever comments are entered in this field on the Source Info tab of the Master Source are automatically included in the Comments section of the Text/Comments tab. However, it does appear that the "Include on reports" checkmark does not remove the comments from the citation.
I'll talk with Dave about this for a resolution. Thanks for your research into this.

Further information about this. I now see why this is occurring. On some SW templates (I have now seen it on Artifacts>Privately held and Family Group Sheet>Privately held) there is a field named "Comments" on the Source Info screen, the "main" screen for inputting Master Source data. Any text which is entered into the usual "Comments about this master source" field are automatically copied into the "Comments" field. Obviously the "Comments" field is not picking up on the contents of the checkbox for "Include on Reports" which appears under the "Comments about this master source". (Nor the First time/Each time radio buttons.) I wonder if a Legacy staffer could comment on whether or not this is intentional. I hope it is *not* because I usually use the "Comments about this master source" for information which I do not wish to have appear on Reports and where the entry is quite long I certainly don't want it appearing every time the Master Source is cited. I can conceive of occasions when one would want to add a "Comment" to be part of the printed Master Source *and* "Comments about this master source" which were not for publication. For the moment I am working around the problem by including my long not-for-publishing comments in the "Copy of the text from this master source" field over which I have some control! -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
