This has been the crux of my problem. I have already done the above
procedure, and after your note, I have double checked to see that this is
the case. Yet, the output screen preview still insists that there is no
repository listed, and no repository address. One suggestion (from
Elizabeth) is that I must fill in the "other" space in the Repository Entry
Screen, even though the entry has the name and number assigned to it. So, I
gave that a shot, and it solved this puzzle, it seems. These sources that
were imported via GEDCOM are not quite "in" the system, so it seems, even
though they appeared to be.
Many thanks again to you and Pete and Elizabeth for your generous
assistance.
Regards,
Ginny
