Hello Geoff.
Thanks for these instructions; but I've run into a wee problem.
In Para 1), below, you state:
......."The SourceWriter style citations have a small
black bullet at the beginning in the Source List Name column."
Well, I don't see that bullet?
I have checked the Options/source and the Source Writer is enabled.
What have I missed?

Subject: [LegacyUG] Source conversion
As we know, the Source Conversion tool is not yet done. I don't know
when it
will be. And I've learned that I'm not going to make any statements
with the
word "soon" in it. :) I just simply don't know. So...if we do have
sources
that we want to convert to the SourceWriter format, we have to
manually do
this for now. I'll present the "flow" of how I've been doing mine,
which is
not to say that it is the correct method for everyone. Keep in mind
that I,
too, am new to this and am open to others' ideas/feedback.
First of all, I personally am NOT going back through ALL of my
sources to
convert them to the SourceWriter format. With tens of thousands of
citations, I would never get back to research if I solely
concentrated on
this. Rather, when I'm adding new sources, I always use the
SourceWriter.
And when I'm currently researching a family that has Basic Style
citations,
I work to convert those citations. A citation consists of both the
master
source and the source detail. Here is my process for now....
1) Open the Assigned Sources list for an individual by clicking on
the
Sources icon. Here I can see which existing citations are Basic
Style and
which are SourceWriter style. The SourceWriter style citations have
a small
black bullet at the beginning in the Source List Name column.
