David - It is my understanding that Legacy "does not" support split citation details, although someone seemed to imply that the program did. My response was to that message about "having as many details as I want" (which is, of course, not the same thing as split citation details). Split citations are used only to control the details of your citation and where they print in any output forms you use, i.e., reports. And, actually whether any print or not can be controlled further by sensitivity brackets which can be overridden. In that regard, you could actually use them as notes within the parameters of the source material and not ever have them print unless you wanted them to. Some people use a CD for something like a PIN which is a reference to a document numbering system they use for their own paper files. Then if they want, they can print it out for their use or hide it for reports that they are are doing to share. I am hopeful that Legacy will adopt the split citation convention. ----- Original Message ----- From: David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2001 3:18 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Sources and events > Cheri, > I have never understood Split Citations until now after reading your > message. > > But when you talk about Legacy having this option are they just exclusive to > Printing or do you use them in other ways > > > -----Part Original Message----- > I understand that I can add as many citation details as I want, but they are > not split citation details.
