Jenny, My newly "combined" source does have the bullet beside it. That's one of the first questions I posted after I combined the sources and Geoff responded that the bullet means the source was created with the new Source Writer. I thought that in itself is a great feature so that you will know the difference.
I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and see exactly what I did. I really do think I clicked on the new source first. Somehow it made sense to me that if I wanted the Master Source info from one and the detail from the other that I should click on the Master first and then combine the details into that master. I knew I had my backup to rely on, in case I lost all the details. Thanks for exploring this with me. It's really helping me to think through my next steps - do I wait for these quesitions to be answered definitely, or do I keep working on my sources? Right now, I'm just adding new sources with the Source Writer - not doing any more combining.
