Geoff posted that, according to programmer Dave B. (who I would think
would know the program pretty well), you cannot merge old sources into
the new source writer because old source detail does not convert
correctly. This will be addressed sometime in the future. I don't know
why some of you are continuing to try to do this.
Granted the Conversion tool is not yet available and merging old sources
into new does not retain the Detail. However, it is perfectly possible,
as has been said several times, to do the merging and add the "missing"
Detail. I call this "manual merging" as opposed to "automatic merging."
Some people, me included, have chosen to do this "manual merging" now,
rather than wait for the tool. Doubtless there are several different
reasons for doing so: impatience probably figures quite prominently!
I am finding the process a great way to get used to the new SourceWriter
and learn all about the different templates. I *may* wish to continue
doing it this way even when the new Tool is available as this way I have
precise control over the process and can do things "my way" at every
stage. It is not always a good thing to let the computer do everything
its own way including doing your thinking for you!
