Play around with the options and then decide what you want to do based upon how the various reports print. Currently, I put abstracts/extracts/transcriptions in the Event Notes field, not in either Source field you mentioned. That is because I want to see the actual information I have about the person in chronological order in the body of my reports (not relegated to footnotes/endnotes), and I want "clean" footnotes/endnotes. If Legacy ever develops a report similar to RootsMagic's Research Notes Report, I will put the abstracts/extracts/transcriptions in the Source Detail Text field. As is often mentioned on this list, the beauty of Legacy is it's flexibility, allowing each user to customize it to his/her needs and preferences.
