If you do that... i.e. export them as "real" end/foot notes, so they appear
each time they are used, will they then automatically renumber? I take it
they won't change to "ibid" and "op.cite" as appropriated; is this true? If
they renumber, can you remove one, have them automatically renumber, move
text around and have the footnoe move with it, or simply move a footnote to
be associated with some other part of the sentence? I thought I tried
everything to determine this capability was in Legacy and was disappointed.
I would be thrilled to learn I overlooked something.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Considering switching to Legacy
I've also been frustrated by not getting real endnotes in word
processing documents. But then I found out it's a bit more complex than
I thought. When you export them as real (editable) endnotes, you then
get an endnote listed for each and every citation. In other words,
endnote # 1 no longer applies to 6 different items. The number of
endnotes increases dramatically. In some cases, this may be fine, but it
really ruins the ability to print working reports with endnotes of
reasonable length. I think I read somewhere that there's a utility that
will convert them back to "unique endnotes" (the ones were note #1
applies to 6 items), but I'm not sure if it's free or if it's only
designed for specific software (genealogical or word processing). In any
case, it makes a significant extra step on every report.

The complaint is that it doesn't output into full word processing
capability; a specific problem for me is the inability to add, remove and
move around footnotes.
If you are going to create a report that meets publishing standards, you
must have this capability. I don't believe the test is between Legacy
and
Family Tree Maker. As far as I know, the only program with a robust
report
creation component is The Master Genealogist. I would give my eye teeth
if
Legacy offered the same capablities. Otherwise, when I finally get
around
to publishing, I am going to have to export everything to TMG then learn
the
ropes of that program.
I am hoping against hope a new release of Legacy will come out just in
time
to save me.
