I wonder if this (2 rounds of S & R for Citation details) has something to do with using SourceWriter. You will notice that in the first pass the wording you see looks "normal" but the second time you will see all the field names in lots of brackets. ... or perhaps just because it's something to do with Sources. I just did a little test, doing a S & R for a word in a SW Source and then for one in a Basic Source. The first one went through the cycle twice, making replacements both times. The second one also went through the Records twice, making a replacement the first time round but not finding the Search text at all the second time. I can't be sure that S & R hasn't always worked this way but I'm sure it's a necessary beahviour for Legacy and something you can't change. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
