Regarding your first question, I have been doing the following: 1. Scan the document in question 2. Create a Source (or Source Detail) for the document and attach the document to the Source (not the Event). 3. I type the complete (or significant) data from the document into the Source Text (with a blank line at top so it reads better in the report) 4. I (optionally) highlight the pertinent data on the Source Text (Name, Date, etc.) 5. Then, each time I reference that document, I use the identical source using the source clipboard (it must be IDENTICAL) this causes each entry to use the same footnote and thereby prevents the source from printing multiple times. 6. I make sure that the Source Picture and the Source Text are checked (enabled) for printing.
Using this method, when I print the Family Group Sheet, each item on a given certificate has the same footnote number and all sources appear at the end of the Family Group Sheet. The entry for the foot note will contain the source name & details, the Source Notes and a small picture of the document. So even though the document is very small, I can easily read the (pertinent) detail from the document in the Source Notes. If I ever question what I have typed into the Source Notes, I can review the actual document to verify its correctness. I find putting the document picture & Text in sources rather than in Events makes the report easier to read. Also, if desired, I can easily eliminate the Source Picture, Source Notes, or even all sources in future printings. I do not publish to the web, so I don't know if this would work for that purpose. I hope this is helpful. On 11/20/05, Rob Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello! I have just started using Legacy v6.0 and have a couple questions I > hope someone can help me with. > > 1.
