Thanks to all who pointed out that I might have clicked the 3-bar icon instead of the single. Very likely.
However, the other problem persists. Several sources have attached themselves to an individual to whom they have no more relationship than that they belong to his son. I have tried replacing the sources. I rewrote them using the new Source Writer (one was an old-style census citation, which I replaced with a new one), but the new one has stuck to the wrong person, too. This is really disturbing, as I am presently outputting an ancestry report for a cousin (in return for the hand-quilted baby quilt that she recently made for my first granddaughter from our mutual grandmother's old quilt scraps). This is the only individual whom I have found to be affected in this manner, as I edit the full ancestor report, which runs to 130-some pages. Come on, Ron. Surely YOU can come up with something! :-) Janis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jenny M Benson Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 12:11 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyFamilyTree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] source attaching to numerous events Janis Gilmore wrote >I have a source which has attached itself to every event for a >particular individual.

You probably accidentally clicked on the "three bars" icon when pasting a Source from the clipboard. This pastes the Source for all used fields, not just the one where the cursor is. I've done it myself a few times, particularly when I have forgotten that as well as Sourcing the fields at the top of the screen (which I wanted to Source) it will also Source the Events at the bottom (which I didn't want.) -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
