I have posted a screen shot at http://www.tributepr.com/index.html
In the highlighted source, you can see a fragment of the source detail at the right. But if you open the detail (by clicking on Edit Detail), you just get an empty Source Writer source detail window - my old source details are nowhere to be seen, and cannot be accessed. I'm not real worried about this. I can create new Source Writer sources, and not worry about the old ones yet. But if there is a solution, I do, of course, wish to know what it is.

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.
