Hi:
I've just started using Legacy and have a question on the Master Source List.
For Census Records, I have set up a Master Source as 1901 Census - Ontario
For the Source Detail, I have entered the specific details for the census, the
county, city ,page # , household etc.. Do I need to
Hi all:
Thanks for everyone's help yesterday.
If I use the Basic source system and almost always print citations and
bibliographies:
1) How do I input the author's name so that it shows up Given Last in the
footnote and Last, Given in the bibliography?
If that is not possible with the
Might any of the members of the list have blogs about their experience with
_SourceWriter_?
I've worked with a large number of sources and, for the most part, have
previously developed styles for the source list entry and the citation. I'm
guessing that if I had more experience with Legacy's
Excellent catch, Marg.
I would think, since this is the family that the sample database opens to by
default, that those particular parents would not be set as private. A potential
new user opens the sample file to take a look around and look what happens; an
immediate issue crops up. A
I am probably in a minority - but I tried Source Writer - and gave it
up for my own BASIC sources. Source Writer tends to print out in many
lines of information - I can usually get all of the info I need (in a
printout) - in 2 lines using BASIC format - and it meets the reasons
for sourcing - to
Hi Keith:
Thanks for your thoughts.
The same seems true for _SourceWriter_ if you use the overwrite tab.
I wonder about portability. In other words, isn't it less likely that a

overwrite, will be read by any of the many
How do I sort and address list alphabetically by last name?
I looked at the help file and don't seem to find
instructions for this.
Thanks,

When you enter an address the second field down is labelled Sort
String. If you enter something in there, that's how the list will be
sorted, but if you leave it blank the list will be sorted on the Name

I found where I can search for people with events that don't have
citations attached. Is there some way to search for a *specific*
event that isn't cited?

The source clipboard is a tool that will let you add that same detail to
all the family members listed on that census. If you set up the
clipboard first with the census details and text you can then use the
paste from clipboard icon to add that source for other members of the
family
Hi Kris,
I don't know how you deleted all your census citations, but if I had done
something like that, I would do a restore from a recent backup of my family
file.
Kind regards, and best wishes in fixing this.

In _SourceWriter_ template (ArtifactsPrivately held), I've entered author's
names. Output preview reports name in the bibliography, but not in the
either the full or short footnote.
I can edit in override, but is this the way the template is supposed to
work?
Thank you for any assistance

Hi Keith:
I hadn't worked with the census yet.
Your note was a good reminder. There are a lot of those. G I'm always
hoping to publish parts of the file; I generally enter all the information
about a census.
I am more accustomed to having a MS at the household level than at the
county level,
Kris,
It would seem that Dan has the best solution to use a restored latest
backup and compare both files in the split screen, especially if new
entries would use a higher RIN.
If that's not to your liking, I think you can still find a somewhat
workable search list.
I believe the search for
I did not one variation between some the census sources I have in another

The difference is in the source of the source description (Census records

Re: variations
You're correct. I've entered several thousand census citations into my file
using SourceWriter and until you pointed this out, I had completely missed
this minor difference.
Also I noticed, while taking another look, that while the bibliography entry

Oddly enough, microfilm publication is something about which I rec'd a
