This sounds pretty similar to issues described in the thread "Numbering
source citations and end notes" from June 2009, which includes a note from
Brian about an existing problem report.

This is a good example of the kind of bug that I would like to see Millennia
attack in a 'bug blitz' release (no new features).

So I'm not the only one with this problem. I've had to do the same report in
.pdf format and then copy and paste the right source citation numbers from
pdf to my rtf. Also, same thing happened to me as you report in your last
paragraph. Bummer!

Subject: [LegacyUG] Sources in Reports


I must admit that Reports are not my forté as I have not had a great
deal of reason to create them.  However, wanting to send some
information to a friend to-day I created a Multiple Lines of Descent and
save it in RTF.  I included Sources, opting for Endnotes at the end of
the book and combining multiple citations into one paragraph.

I was rather mystified by what appeared to be an extra set of citations
at the foot of the Report when viewed in Word.  There were 10 of them
prefaced with Roman numerals, rather than the Arabic numerals of the
other 389 Citations and they were also in a different font and the
paragraph indentation was different.

I eventually realised that these final Citations related to Notes -
General, Medical, Marriage, etc.  I am curious as to why they appear
like this in a RTC Report, when they are not so distinguished in other
formats - well, not when previewed on screen, anway.  Can anyone explain
this?

One other point - this may be a bug.  After Marriage Notes for one
couple there was a gap of several lines before the superscripted x
indicating the Citation appeared.  Thinking I must have accidentally
inserted empty lines when entering the Notes I went back to edit them
and found there were no empty lines but a single CR at the end of the
one line of text.  Inexplicably, that CR had turned into several (sorry,
I didn't count!) in the RTF file.
