I upgraded from RM7 to RM8 and most of my source citations now have both the citation name and page number duplicated. Everything is Free Form and obviously I don’t enter data the way the program would like for me to do. Have to fix 11,000 citations, so want to be sure I do it right. Or can I ignore the duplication? What should I do if I only have a page number? If I leave the citation name blank, RM8 puts the page number there and again, it is duplicated. (For purists, I put the details from the source in the notes, not in the source.) ---

With free form templates, just ignore the duplication. It does no harm, and it doesn’t really mean anything. ---

Thank you for the advice, Jerry. It is a relief not to have to worry about this.
