Gail, Since our (grown) children and little granddaughter have been with us at the beach this week, I have only converted perhaps 20 sources. I'll look forward to seeing what you have to say about your process.
And, by the way, you described the "merge" outcome perfectly. That is exactly my situation.

When you merge an old master source (which has one or more details attached to it) into a new sourcewriter source, the new source does replace the old one as expected. The source details associated with the old source also do seem to go along and become part of the the newly merged source. *However*, when you look at the assigned sources screen, you cannot see the old source details in the source output tab at the bottom of the screen, even when you select "show entire source" (at least I can't). You *can* still see part of the source details in the upper part of the assigned sources screen, but unless your entry is short (which mine aren't for my census sources), you will have to stretch the field width to the max to (hopefully) see it all. Even then, I don't believe you can do a copy/paste of this data, but maybe I am wrong.
