I'm in the process of printing out sections of my data to send to a relative. It has always confused me as to why family group reports (or any report I have tried) include the superscript numbers in the tags to indicate a source, but the source list (bibliography/endnote/footnote etc.) does not print out at the bottom of the page or at end of the report. I have all of these wonderful cross-references but have absolutely no idea to what they refer, unless I run a separate endnote/footnote report. I can see where this is advantageous if I'm running several family group sheets & then want to run a single reference list. However, I do not like this. I think it gets too busy when there are hundreds of citations and the reference numbers get very large; it also means that the receiver has to keep the whole set together to be able to decode the references and cannot easily pick & choose what he wants. If he throws out some people of little interest to him, he's still stuck with the huge list of sources, many of which may no longer be relevant. I want each family group sheet to be self-contained, with its own internal list of sources and with superscript crossreferences in the tags and the corresponding sources at the end of the report. How do I do this?

I had the exact same problem. TMG6 was practically USELESS (~20 seconds to load a tag for entry) and TMG5 worked like a charm, all with the same computer settings. None of the standard suggestions from tech support helped. After a while, I figured out a work-around, a poor one but a workable one. By playing around with settings, I traced the problem back to my printer setup. Whenever I had a network printer installed as the Windows default, TMG ground to a halt. My workaround was to install a non-existent printer as the local printer & set that as default. I could still set my network printer as my chosen printer in TMG's printer setup and have it work fine. The problem wasn't with the printer/TMG combination; the problem was with having a network printer as Windows default. No one was able to explain this, as others on the forum with network printers haven't had this problem. Maybe this is an issue with just my computer, but it's a simple enough thing to try on yours.
