Robert (and others) - opening the source window, the one from the books
icon, is NOT the source clipboard. It is the Assigned Sources list. The
source clipboard that you reference is, in fact, THE source clipboard. Yes,
it has 10 places and is the same as in V6. This is a wonderful feature.
Michele, I do not believe you can copy 2 sources at the same time. However,
when you copy an event to the Event Clipboard, it will copy not only the
event but the source attached to it. Then when you paste this event you can
easily attach another source via the source clipboard. If you're only
wanting to use 2 previously used sources, you can copy them both to the
source clipboard. It takes only a couple of clicks to access each of them
and it is quite simple to insert different source details if necessary.

I wish I could include a graphic. If, she is referring to the five sources
available shown by five different tabs, we seem to have more now, albeit
pretty well hidden. Michele, please try this and see if it answers your
query:
1. Open Legacy
2. Select someone, to go to that person's Individual Information window.
3. Click the books icon, the icon for sources. (Ta da, it opens the Source
Clipboard!)
4. Please look at the bottom right area of this window where it says Save
A Clipboard. You can save TEN Clipboards! That is double the five we had
in Legacy 6. Is this what you are asking about?

The source clipboard in V7 appears to be a singular source at a time, with
no multiple clipboard option.
I've wondered this same thing lately. I never quite got the hang of the
source clipboard in V6, but V7 is pretty simple and easy.

Michele,
I'm afraid that I, for one, do not know what you mean by "append" in this
context - which may imply that the answer is "no".
