Long ago I used a program in which I entered a lot of information into my sources (for example, to check the source later for families covered in the book which might be useful in the future). Everything has been imported into Legacy, and I have two questions:
(1) How can I do a simple search for any word within a source in Legacy? In other words, I don't want a list of individuals associated with the source, just the 3 or 4 sources that might contain a word or phrase I'm searching for. (2) I file my sources in my file cabinet by the "File ID" number I give them as I come across a source and enter references to it into my database. How can I create a list of my sources by the File ID number? I tried to print out a report but it came out alphabetized which doesn't help me at all since I want an easy way to go to the numbered folder. Here's my step: "Select a Report" > Books/Other > Source Citations. Then under the "Include" tab, I clicked on "All Sources" and "Only the Master Sources." I've tried most of the variations under the "Options" tab, but it invariably alphabetizes the list when I want it numbered (using MY File ID number--not Legacy's "number each source"--my #1 does not start with "A"). Incidentally, the "Include the source detail File ID" does not do it. I've searched the "Help" menu but I can't find an answer to these problems. I'd be thrilled to know how to do these things.
