Individual Reports do not have a title page in the Publication Centre. The title page is defined on the Additional Tab of the Pub Centre. I pasted your Descendants of George Washington Lockey into the title as two lines as implied by your original message and there was no overprint problem.

Hi Lavern, It sounds like your problem could be with Dropbox - that is, there is no issue with Legacy, Win XP, or Win8.1. I use Dropbox. It can take some time for the files to sync from Dropbox to the laptop - depending on the size of your file, connections speed, it could be a few

Mike is correct. Your best bet is to allow Legacy to produce a RTF which Word can directly open. If you need to bring a PDF file into Word, it takes a little trick. Word will not directly open a PDF file (assuming that you haven't installed some sort of 3rd party add-in). To accomplish getting

Hi Lavern, Your problem may be that you are not giving it enough time to sync. I hope you have your XP computer well protected since you are using it online. However, I'm not clear about your process. Bob thinks you have your working file only in the Dropbox and that may be so. But you said: I

I'd like advice on how to handle the following. A funeral director in Evansville, IN typed abstracts of thousands of obits over a 50 year period on index cards from local newspapers. Unfortunately, he did not specify the name of the paper or obit's date on the card. Using the Source Writer, I

Hi Barton, Which template did you use in the SourceWriter? However, to answer your question - the collection, whatever you decide to call it, is the Master Source. The name of the person goes in the Source Detail along with any other information on the Card. eg the Abstract itself I'd put in

Hi Barton, It doesn't really matter how you use the fields, what matters is the output. Try it and see. I'd probably use the Article box. When you're making a template work for something it wasn't really designed for, that's the price you pay. Note you've made the Collection you're Master Source
