Last I checked (a couple of years ago now), Legacy supported subsequent citations for footnotes but not for endnotes. Even for footnotes, there were some issues. The fields that get suppressed are not always what you expect. Some people were putting data in alternate template fields, as a workaround. My testing was with SourceWriter. I don’t think that the concept exists for Basic sources. You can see immediately in the output preview on the Assigned Sources window. This has nothing to do with your Gedcom, other than the fact that any export to Gedcom has to squash all sources into a basic style.

(Probably I should have waited for Legacy's direct import from TMG which isn't out yet. I'm impatient and didn't.) I left source clean up to the end because it was mostly removing Source Labels that were imported as part of the source. My preferences are set to Source Writer and all added new sources have used Source Writer. These look great and I intend to stick with Source Writer for new sources. Questions - Does Basic only have the Full footnote and not have subseqent footnote and bibliography? Or does this only occur with a Gedcom import? ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Fowler Leek To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2014 1:30 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Source clean up problem Barbara, Can you duplicate each basic source in Source Writer to get the look you want when used in a report, then figure out how to edit and paste the formatted info into your basic source that will closely achieve the same style? Once done, when you save the edit, it will ask if it should be applied to all uses of the source or to create a new source. If applied to all instances of this source, then it would give you the same result as if combining, except it would still be recognized as a basic source in Legacy. This might take a little thought but would at least get the source style updated. Might this act as a work around? Then set your preferences to use Source writer for all new sources entered and move forward with your research. From: karenhappuch [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2014 10:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Source clean up problem My migration from TMG to Legacy is down to source clean up. I've run into a source problem. The imported sources have the very same wording for footnote, subsequent footnote, and biblography. I tried creating a duplicate source and then moving all to the new source (combining?). Tha new source looked great, but I couldn't move to it because old is Basic and new is Source Writer. I do not want to quit using Source Writer for newly created sources because I really like the results it produces.
