Paula, It should not be necessary to add the sources in the way you suggest (if indeed that is possible). The addition of sources is a combination of two factors 1) The Event has a Source linked to it, and b) in Report Options> Sources the box to display sources is checked.

I think it is [Sources] Take a look at another event's sentence structure (that you haven't made changes to) and see where Legacy has put that field. You can add that field to your override sentence structure, and then the little number should show up WITH the event in the body of the report. However, there are still some report options to check. The descendants book report's report options has a tab for Sources, where you have to check the box for them to print, then you can indicate how you want the source citations to print - footnotes vs. endnotes, etc. Then again, if you're getting the citations at the end, you have all that checked. So, another reason the little number could be missing is because the citation hasn't actually been added to this particular event. Can you double-check that? In the Individual's screen in the events/facts list, does the event in question have an "S" beside it? If not, then it hasn't been sourced. Not sure how that happened, but it has definitely happened to me, where I thought I had cited the source, but was trying to do so many things at once that it just hadn't been done. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lea-Anne Davison <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, February 24, 2012 4:19:29 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Trying to enter information that will result in readable reports Thanks Paula for your suggestions. Correct me if I'm wrong but I tried the sentence override part of the event entry but when I checked the output (descendants book report) the small number identifying the source doesn't appear with this event in the main part of the report. The source is still in the source citation at the end of the generation. I am still experimenting but all suggestions are greatfully received.
