I think I misspoke in my earlier message. When looking at the 'View' -> 'Master Lists' -> 'Source…' -> 'edit' -> 'Edit Master Source Definition' -> and use the same 'name' for the 'Source List Name' and the 'Title', both 'names' will appear in the same numbered end note of a book - which appeared to me to be duplications - perhaps not. Should an entry in 'Title' be eliminated/omitted when it is identical to the entry in the 'Source List Name'? It appears that if I leave the 'Title' blank when entering Master Sources, the first appearance of the source in a book format will be the full reference reading with subsequent end notes showing as a cversion of the Master Source, somewhat like Michele indicated.
Also, I'm still trying to fathom the significance of a 'File ID' when applied to a Master Source and a 'File ID' as it may relate to a Detail entry. If I use the same 'File ID' number in both places (and here is where I must be in error), they appear in the end notes of the book as '…... ID: 1234 and Cit. ID: 1234…' . I've been using a Source Citation Report (selecting the 'number each source' feature during the build) and using those numbers from the resultant 'File IDs' report to enter File ID's for my Master sources. If I also enter the same File ID for a detail, and do an 'Advanced Sourcing' routine to associate the information with all those persons using that Master source, they will be identified to a 'Citation Report' with that 'Source Citation' (AKA File ID). This report is divided into two parts - the first one is the 'File ID' and the second is 'Source Citations'. The report beomes extremely large very quickly when you may have 100-200 persons referenced in a singe source. The process to do the foregoing is rather lengthy and too long for this message, but the different File ID results in the end notes of a book (descendant narrative) are interesting. Positive observations or comments welcomed.
