Barbara, The bottom line is Legacy does not produce true Footnotes which has been a request of mine since I started using Legacy. Basically all you get is a list of references called "Endnotes" and a superscript number. Remove or edit out a line containing a reference to a source and even though the source is not referenced again the source will still be listed in the "Endnotes". There are several programs that have had "real" footnotes for sometime which is why I do not understand Legacy's reluctance to add this feature. Would definitely make editing a RTF report much easier. But there seems to be very little demand for this feature. Good Luck.
