Terry:

You and Jim Byram have detailed approaches to create these footnotes (which
I am going to try out using various reports). What will these workarounds
look like in a GEDCOM export? As I mentioned in a previous note, I would
have to have to go through this all over again with a third product.
Thanks.

Greg

Donald,

You want just a stand alone footnote, not related to any source, right?
There are two ways you can do this in TMG that I can think of:

1. As a CD-only pseudo-source. Create a source, maybe called Notes, with
output template for full and short footnote as [CD], and bibliography of --.
Then you cite the source to the tag, and enter the note in the CD. This
method puts the note with all source notes, that is in endnotes or footones.

2. As a memo. This requires that the tag not use the memo field. Make sure
there is no memo reference in the sentence structure. Then, in the report
definition, specify that Memos go to footnotes. (This works in narratives,
I'm not sure about other report styles.)
