Shirley, You said,
"I don't know about other wordprocessors, but WordPerfect has a macro that converts endnotes to footnotes." But doesn't Legacy output only bibliography-style or formatted sources? How are you creating correctly formatted endnotes available for footnotes?

I can't imagine going directly from a database to a "book" type of report. Even for simple descendant charts to share, I create a wordprocessing document as an interim. (Since I am using V5 Standard, Legacy will not always create an RTF report, so then I create a text file) I have done two of these in the last week in order to give non-researchers-family an overview of what I have and what I need. Once I open the report in my wordprocessor, I simply insert my questions in bold in the appropriate spots. Then I save it as an RTF file and send that. My sister-in-law sent it back with her answers in blue. It worked fine. Re footnotes - I don't know about other wordprocessors, but WordPerfect has a macro that converts endnotes to footnotes. Endnotes are fine on a family group sheet, but on anything that is more than a few pages long, there is too much flipping back and forth, so then I prefer footnotes. In one book, I used a combination, putting the source notes at the end, but other notes with clarifying or supplemental information as footnotes. My audience was primarily non-researchers, who wouldn't usually be interested in the sources, but the sources are still there for those who want to follow up.
