To source specific paragraphs or sections within Notes, use the old MLA sourcing technique of putting a reference to the source in brackets at the end of the paragraph or sentence.
For example, if the source is "Early Fairchilds in America" by Jean Fairchild Gilmore, at the end of the section, I'd enter [Gilmore] and then source my book in the Notes the usual way. http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/research/mlaparen.html Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 4:38 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: >> In a message dated 11/12/2010 10:05:11 A.M.
