Hi Art,
Are you sure you are describing your process properly?
It may help to know a bit more how the event clipboard works.
The event clipboard copies the link to the event and its source.
It doesn't copy the content of each field.
So if you edit the original event after you've copied it to
clipboard, the changes will be included when you paste to the next person.
If you copied event A to another person and edited it there (AB) and
then went to the next person without copying an event and pasted the
event there - you are still pasting event A. However, if, in between
you went back and edited event A at the original person (A2) and,
without copying another event, used the paste from event clipboard
for someone else, then
it is A2 that gets pasted. That's because it's the link to that
original event that is copied so what is pasted is whatever that
original link is holding.
I've never seen the data for the original person change if I've
pasted the event to someone else and edited it for that new person.
To answer your first question. Clear the event clipboard by copying
another event.

How do you clear the event clipboard so that you can change details
in copied events?
Oviously a family residence will have dates changing for diffent
people in the family as they are born after the parents move there
and they children will move out when they get married - some will die, etc.
So much of the event will be the same but some details will change.
When I have pasted to a new person and edited a detail when I go
back to the original it is also edited.
How can I keep that from happening?
