beetle3247 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2023 Since the use of ibid in citation sources is now the "bad kid on the block," according to the Chicago Manual of Style and other organizations, including the National Genealogical Society, you would need to change the Source Definition for each source you have (through the "Output Form" tab) so that ibid is not used and the Short Footnote is used. Since I have over 3400 sources already, does anyone have an idea on how to do a mass change for all at once? Or is there some other GLOBAL setting that can be made (if so I can't find it)?

Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2023 Reports that have a Sources tab in the options should have this option... Check Disable "ibid." to prevent the use of "ibid" in the list of sources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beetle3247 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2023 Yes, I know I can do this with each source, but is there a method to globally change that setting on ALL sources? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Reigel 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2023 Jim is not talking about an option in Sources, but rather about the Option in Reports. The report option changes the result for all Citations in that report, regardless of the option selected in the individual Sources. Thus there is no need to make the change in each Source so long as you consistently choose the "no ibid" option in each report you use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
