I guess, like Rich, I don't understand where it is you can see the detail that you can't access. If I can see detail on the Assigned Sources screen, and I highlight that Source and click Edit Detail, then I click on the Text/Comments tab and I can copy the detail there. When I first click on Edit Detail, I do get the blank Source Writer screen, but then I click on the Text/Comments tab and my detail is there. I can edit or copy from that place.
