Leonard, We had a lot of discussion about Subsequent Citations a while back. I think March of 2009 might be the most recent. I don't know if anything has changed in Legacy. I know I logged some requests.
Think of a template-driven (i.e., SourceWriter) citation as consisting of 4 groupings of fields: - master fields that always appear - master fields that disappear on subsequent citations - detail fields that always appear - detail fields that disappear on subsequent citations The same fields appear, or not, on each subsequent citation of a given master source. If you understand which ones do so, for a particular SourceWriter template, then you can fudge your data accordingly. By 'fudge', I mean sometimes placing a text value in a different field than the one suggested by the template. Does this help you to engineer your detail citations such that you see the desired different detail fields in your footnotes?

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. (and maybe our subject has changed?) --Paula in Texas ------------------------- From: gambol <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, February 13, 2012 6:51:07 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7.5 and source citation import?  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.
