Thank you Ward and Cheryl for your replies. I will contact Support about my emails. The situation was a Master Source repeating on the reports right after the exact Master Source before it -- with the same picture of the birth certificate repeated. I could handle the repeating Source if the picture didn't repeat. It just seems a whole big mess of citations compared to the older version. Thanks again. Laurel
