Jim: When I said "the field for the publisher's information" I meant that the URL should appear in the finished citation instead of the usual place of publication. So where you would normally see Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in a citation for the publisher of a book, you would instead see the LAC URL. The exact name of the field might vary depending on which template you're using.

Personally I have trouble wrapping my head around this concept, and I know a lot of people list the URL as the repository, but Mills' approach does work in producing a properly formatted citation in Legacy. Much as I have great respect for the advice of Elizabeth Shown Mills, this does not make sense because there are frequently multiple web-sites associated with a single publisher. Also I do not see any input field in the Source dialog just for "Publisher's information", just a big blank text field for "Publication Facts". It is not enough that I find some nook to stick the URL information into. I need to be able to find it in a systematic, automated, fashion so I can append the information to my web site http://www.jamescobban.net/FamilyTree/legacyIndex.html. In more detail the edit Source dialog permits me to put in a URL for the Repository, but that is kind of useless because in the particular case in question the repository is Library and Archives of Canada, which of course is the repository for hundreds of sources that I currently refer to, and literally millions of potential sources that I have not referred to yet. It would appear that I need to use the enhanced capabilities of SourceWriter, but I am not given an option to convert the existing source to use the SourceWriter. -- Jim Cobban jamescob...@sympatico.ca 34 Palomino Dr. Kanata, ON, CANADA K2M 1M1 +1-613-592-9438 Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
