I am starting to think I understand. The capability is there there but the
shortcut way to do it is gone. I know how to do the mulitple clipboard
thing using the blue arrow.

Michele,
I think I understand what you are talking about, but I still think it
does refer to the tabs on the old V6 source clipboard. In V6, if you
selected to copy a source to the clipboard, you were asked if you
wanted append (i.e., add that source to the sources already on the
clipboard) or if you wanted to overwrite (i.e., remove those sources
already on the clipboard from that clipboard and just have the copied
one on the clipboard).
Then when you went to paste from the source clipboard onto person 2,
you pasted whatever was on the clipboard, i.e., if you selected append
at the copy stage, you then added the 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) sources to
person 2, but if you had selected overwrite at the copy stage, there
was only one source on the clipboard, as you had overwritten the
previous ones, so only one source was added to person 2.
Is this what you mean? If so, then it is because the source clipboard
has changed from v6 to v7.
There is an option on the source clipboard to load and save up to 10
clipboards, each named with whatever you wish. This would enable you
to copy the first source to the clipboard, save it, then go back, copy
the second source to the clipboard, and save that in position 2.
Continue to do this until you have all sources you wish to assign to
person 2 saved. Then load each one to the clipboard individually and
assign to person 2, as you wish.
It probably involves a few extra keystrokes, but not actually that
many, and saves you from accidentally assigning more than one source
to a person in error, because you've forgotten about tab 2, tab 3, etc
on V6.
If I have misunderstood your problem, I apologise for my stupidity,
and please ignore this post.
Regards,
Dermot.

No, not the tab things. I am having a hard time explaining this. Ok....
Let's say I pull up a person and I am looking at their list of sources.
I
can highlight a source and hit that copy button on the left hand side at
the
bottom and a box will come up that says, Copy the highlighted source
citation to the source clipboard? (This will also copy the source detail
entry).
I click yes and then I can paste it to other people.
HOWEVER, in version 6 when you clicked on that copy button it would pop
up a
box asking you if you ewant to OVERWRITE OR APPEND. If you hit append
then
it would ADD this source to whatever you already had on the source
clipboard. Then when you went to the person you want to paste to then
BOTH
sources would paste at the same time.
