Gene, I don't see a response to your question, so... If everything in the citation is the same as a previous citation, the same citation # is used. "Ibid." is only used to save space & ink by condensing the parts of the immediately preceding citation & just printing the differing bits of the detail. For example, the page number in a book cited just prior.
I used Endnotes pretty much exclusively, so maybe that is why I don't see what the problem is. Maybe you could share more details? Which report(s), which foot/end note settings, etc...? Thanks, --Paula in Texas ________________________________ From: Gene Wheeler <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 9, 2014 6:36 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] "Ibid" does not seem to be working properly I'm using the v8, build 459. In an ancestors report I have created, "ibid" does not appear where one would expect it to appear: i.e. by definition, "ibid" is used to provide an endnote or footnote citation or reference for a source that was cited in the preceding endnote or footnote. When referring to v8 Help for the term "ibid", it states: "Use the abbreviation "ibid." in source citation lists to indicate that a particular citation is the same as the previous one but with different detail. This applies to Basic-style sources only." I'm only using Basic-style, and have made the proper selection in section 7.8 to use ibid. The problem seems to be the difference in Legacy's definition for the use of ibid, and all other definitions I find, which DO NOT state the detail must be different. I would appreciate some feedback from Legacy on this issue. Thanks!
