When you entered the Text, did you tick the box just below for "Add this Text to the Source Citation on Reports"? (Or, "Add these Comments to the Source Citation on Reports", if appliccable?) > > 2.

When you select Descendant Book Report, the first screen has several tabs and the first one is Options. On the left, about halfway down you can select Modified Register or Register. Does selecting Register give you what you want? Footnotes which appear at the end are Endnotes! If you click Report Options on that first screen, then select the Sources tab, you can choose whether you want to print Footnotes or Endnotes and if you choose Endnotes there is a further choice for "at the end of each generation" or "at the end of the book." -- 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
