I have a source which is number 47 on the Family Group Chart I am working on. It works the same on all other Sources although another number. I have one line that has all the information contained in the source and then on the next line there is a period. A single period. Nothing else The line begins with 47. Then it doesn't matter what I put in the author, name, publisher, etc for the book. I have abbreviated the state and spelled it out. I have abbreviated the compiler's middle name. I have highlighted to make sure there are no extra spaces. Nothing makes any difference. Has anyone had this problem? I am getting ready to delete the whole Source and enter it again to see if that helps. Betty

It is a program flaw which has existed since at least 7.0 -- perhaps earlier. I have brought it up several times on this list, but no one else commented on it and it has never been fixed.

I can create the same condition you describe (the next line blank except for a period) by putting at least one character in the citation detail and then hitting <enter> to start a new line and put only a period on the next line. (A blank line at the beginning of the citation detail with only a period on the second line does not make the extra line in the report source list. You need at least one printable character on the first line to cause the condition) Deleting and reentering the source would probably get rid of the problem but you'd probably lose any various citation details you might have. There may be other ways to cause this. I did not do an exhaustive study. Wayne League
