FH V7 Source output with V6 Source Note

Post by Gary Carson » 31 Dec 2020 16:54

Having a number of V6 sources similar to the example below with Source Notes.

How do or can I add the Source Note to the Footnote/Short Footnote/Bibliography?

Apparently there is no way to access the Fields.

For Generic sources the format of footnotes and bibliographies is chosen in Tools>Sources>Generic source Formats. However, I recommend that when you get to the Generic Sources Formats dialog you click the Help button. There you will see that in the case of Text from source and Notes it is recommended that instead of including these within the citation (where they will be truncated) you add them below the citation text by using the appropriate options in the Sources tab of Report Options. They will then not be truncated.

Sorry, typed in a hurry. I omitted Preferences. It should be Tools>Preferences>Sources>Generic Source Formats.
