You are correct that only one picture can be used for sources in the source citation list and for events in the narrative reports and web pages. Maybe you do not use or are not aware of the scrapbook which will include all pictures linked to an individual and their events. Brian Customer Support

Sherry, Robert, It doesn't matter (when using Word anyway) when you create the Index in Word. I do this all the time with the books I create (The Legacy Family), especially my new book (The Legacy Handbook). Yes Word pushes things about, but if you've already included an Index, when you add to
