Richard, There have been several discussions about your issue in the past; some of the threads that may give you ideas can be found at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg35463.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg37904.html I've pretty much tried them all, and have resigned myself to the fact that no genealogy program is a substitute for a word processor. I do my family history writing in Word; I use Legacy to store data with source citations, maintain my research log, and print quick reports like Individual Reports or Family Group Sheets for my own use or to share with others. YMMV (your mileage may vary). As for your Event/citation numbering issue, you will need to experiment with your sentence structure on the sentence override tab of Events to get the results you want. Personally, I prefer [Notes] [Sources] which is the closest to what you will get in a word processor as I can find. You should also experiment with Report Options> Sources Tab. You may, for example, want to make sure you are using footnotes not endnotes, and that your have turned off "If an event has multiple citations, combine them into one paragraph."
