Jan, Are you using Basic Sources, or Source Writer?  Which report(s)? If Source Writer, after the first citation in some reports, only the Subsequent Citation (a short citation) will print.  That is by design, and is as it should be. If you have used a Source Override on a Master Source,

A search of the archives pulled some threads on this topic, but from a few years back, so I thought revisiting it would be OK. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to record multiple sources that provide a single piece of information. There seem to be three key considerations: 1. Whether

There appears to not be a source template for an obituary retrieved from a funeral home web site. When I search the templates for obituary all the results are for newspapers. Do I use a generic or basic template? Bobby Johnson Legacy User Group guidelines:
