Here's another thought that might work for some folks. If you still have
Legacy 6 on your computer and have 2 copies of your database (one in Legacy
6 format and one in version 7 format):
Start Legacy 6 and open the old database
Also start Legacy 7 and open the new database
(If you have 2 monitors, you can put one on one screen and the other on the
other screen. Otherwise just adjust your windows accordingly.)
Now you can see your old sources in version 6 and copy/paste from them to
the new setup in Legacy 7.

Now I see the question. Tom asked about having the *Master Source
Definition* window open at the same time. I don't think you can do that
because there's no Add a New Source button on that screen. To revert to
the original question which was how to do the conversion manually. If you
are on either the Master Source List window or an Assigned Sources window
you have the option to click Add a New Source which will bring up the
Source Writer window if you have that option turned on. If you resize
that window smaller you can be see both at the same time. I may have said
it wrong the last time. If you go as far as the Master Source Definition
window you've gone too far.

Perhaps one of the Legacy tech people could get involved in this

So long as the SourceWriter is the active window I'm unable to work in
any other window,

you can

conversion,
the old can be merged into the new. I haven't worked with this alot
yet,
but the other day I was having a try at what it would take to manually
convert my old sources. Alot of work it looks like and I gave it up
because
there were too many new boxes and decisions to make. So, later.

JLB,
Can you tell me how to open the "Add a New Source" window while the
"Master Source Definition" window is open? Perhaps I'm doing something
wrong.
Thanks,

One at a time. Start a new source so there's a small box on top of
your
main screen for that and you can still see the old source. Then
either
re-type or copy and paste one section at a time from the old fields
to the
new ones. Repeat x-hundred times. See you in about 5 years.

I am sure I am being incredibly dense, but I can't locate the
Source
Template Conversion Tool (in Master Source List> Options,
according to
the
manual).
I have the SourceWriter System switched on in Customise.
