Back in September last year someone asked about using SourceWriter when citing a book which was "compiled" rather than "edited".
Someone suggested that entering the compiler's surname as "Surname, compiler" would have the desired end-result of "Forename Surname, compiler." Well, yes, it does, but in fact the citation will then read "Title, Forename Surname, compiler, editor ..." which is not very satisfactory. The solution I gave at the time was to override the Master Source, changing "editor" to "compiler" in the Bibliography and then making the same change to the Footnote/Endnote Citation at the Detail Source level. Now that this situation has actually arisen in my own Sources, I am thinking that this will be very irksome if I ended up with a lot of compiler citations! I am wondering why it is not possible to edit the Master Source Citation so that the word Editor can be changed to Compiler throughout, not just for the Bibliography? I have submitted a Feature Request to Legacy, asking that a third option of "compiled" be added to the existing "authored" and "edited." -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
