Denise - I am talking about the OUTPUT tab of the Master, not the Comments. The Footnote appends the Text/Comments from the Details, not from the Master.
And this seems to confirm what Brian has commented on: Using the same install master file I had recently downloaded, I installed Legacy 8, 467, on a remote system, XP Pro. I copied my bad family file, and my Samples file to the other system, and put them in a separate folder. I started Legacy, entered my ID code to get the Deluxe features. I changed no paths, and accepted the defaults, and opened the newly installed Samples file, not the one I copied there. Got the same problem, Asa Brown's Assigned Source Footnotes include the Details Text, right out of the box!. I did not even bother to try the two files I had copied there. This reminded me, that I had recently upgraded to 467, maybe that is the problem? I downloaded the install master, did not do an auto upgrade. Perhaps the install file I am using was corrupted? But maybe not. If Brian is right, this is a known problem, visually bad, but prints correctly. I see that 473 is available, maybe fixed? So, Cathy, should I try to upgrade to 473? Hate to make changes while trying to troubleshoot a problem, but Brian sounds like the cause is known. How will I upgrade without needing to download an install file, cannot see that option? It was here at one time, I am just lost at the moment..... Found it! Tab for Legacy Home, on the right, click on Updates (found it, but did not do it yet, want to get your opinion first). =================== On 3/29/2015 5:41 PM, Denise Moss-Fritch wrote: > > You are speaking of the Comments tab of the Master Source Definition > dialog?
