Leonard, I may be off-base here, but when I add the person's name in either the Text or Comment field on the Source DETAIL and click the check box to include it, then it does print in the citation. For example, I was using the Ill. Death Index for a couple... same source master, same date accessed, etc., but each had their own name in the "item" field-----------actually, I realize that that is what makes them different. I am including the cert# in the Comment field, though, and checking the box to include that. So, maybe I am no help. I don't do footnotes, just endnotes.

Ward, Yes this is similar. Your comments led me to the Options > Customize > Source tab > Source Detail Defaults. I had the first three boxes checked and then discovered the Reset buttons cycle through each source and source text and list them as one line in the reports. This is exactly what I was looking for, it's a shave the program does not do this as default. My last huddle is to get Legacy to ignore its Subsequent Citations format as there are many times when a census is used as source for a persons' name, approximate birth year and birth state. The individual's name should appear under Legacy's Name Event, and the year, state would appear under the Birth Event. What is desirable is to have two footnotes with the same source info; one having the name as detail and the second having year, state as detail. Are you aware of an option that allows each footnote to appear with its own text? The truncation as it appears in the Subsequent Citations could happen any where in the footnote/endnote printout and the second, etc, usage could be for another person. This leads to confusion on the reader's part.
