Hi Dennis and others,
I don't appear to have the spacing problem between "notes about " and the events. Have you got empty paragraphs at the end of your general notes?
There are extra blank lines sometimes within the events - this, I think, in my case, is because my Sentence Definition allows for Notes which start on the next line and this carriage return/empty paragraph is added even when there are no notes.
I also don't appear to have the spacing problem between words in preview and pdf.
However for all the Book Reports the Sources are indented differently in the preview/pdf and the rtf. I much prefer the rtf format. I prefer the source numbers to stand alone and the source itself to be indented. (so the paragraph is an hanging indent). This is the way it is produced in the rtf. At the moment the source number is indented and the source wraps to the left margin in the pdf output.
Cheers, Cathy

When I produce a Descendant Narrative report, choosing events to print as a single paragraph, using 5.0.0.144 (9 Aug 2004),I observe the following problems:
Preview mode:
1. There are one, two, or sometimes (?) three blank lines between the event lead-in line of "Notes about <name>:" and the paragraph that contains the event(s). Do I have any control over this?
2. On the source citation pages, when sources occupy more than one line, the text on the second and following lines flows out to the left margin instead of being indented. 70% of my sources are longer than one line. Are there any settings for this?
The above wouldn't be so bad (it's only a preview), but the same problems are carried into a Legacy-created pdf. On top of that, the pdf also has a problem of poor horizontal spacing within text. Sometime there is very little space between words. For example, "daughter of Henry" where Henry is bold, appears to have no space between "of" and "Henry". Another example is superscripts referring to the sources: they often severely overlap the character that they are supposed to follow.
.rtf
Surprisingly, to me at least, an rtf of the same report as above has none of these problems.
As a workaround, I can produce an acceptable pdf by first producing an rtf file and then running it thru a pdf maker such as the free/ad-supported pdf995, although I prefer that Legacy natively produce good output.
