Below is my exchange concerning the use of the source clipboard v7 vs.
v6.
Another point concerning the 'extra key strokes' of adding one source at a
time from the possible 10 that can be added is 3 per source. If you had 4
sources you would have 12 strokes for each individual that needed these
same sources.
Whereas from the v6 you would load up to 5 and add them all at once.
I believe that using the option 'ALT 3 routine would cause more problems.
Currently it would add ALL the sources in your clipboard for EVERY data
field that was not blank.
I believe that the better solution would be to change the function of the
'ALT 3' routine would be to add ALL the sources in your clipboard to ONLY
the ONE field that you desired to source.
This would provide the best of this source routine actions from both v7 &
v6.

I'll pass your comments on to the programmers. I never did figure out a
way
to use the multiple sources and you're the only person who has taken time
to
write that they miss it!

Subject:Adding multi Sources to single individule b. d. m. etc
Suggestion:The following is an LUG exchange concerning the loss to using
the
multi source feature in V6 deluxe.
I agree that the V6 ability to add multi sources to a single item [like
birth] was very good.
Example, you have located a family on multi census records and want to
use
one clipboard click to add all the different sources to a single item
[like
birth]
It's loss is already missed.
-----
With the change in V7, now you have to quick load each source to the
clipboard and then click again to add it to a single item [like birth]
The other new button [or ALT-3] added is to add a single source to
'EVERY'
item that is other than blank [like name,birth,bap,death,burial] which
it
really ..OVERKILL.....
Why not allow this same button add all the up to 5 sources to a single
highlighted item [like birth]
So far I have not located how to
"ASSIGN MORE THAN ONE SOURCE AT A TIME"
There seems to be no way to accomplish this feature.
I have been using the Help file for Clipboard Sources [5-1182] which
apprarently STILL need corrections.
Any assistance/comments would be appreciated

I guess I'm the weird one because I liked the 5
tabs. Now I will have to master the 'save and load'
feature.
I think the '5 tabs' are mentioned in the V7 Manual.

Bring up the source detail is behaving as it always
has. In other words, when the clipboard button is
clicked, you have already assigned the master
source, and now you just need to enter the detail
information. Maybe you haven't yet set the clipboard
with the master source. Click on the top button to
do this first.
Regarding the 5 different tabs. We actually removed > this because 1) it
was hardly used; 2) when it was
used, people thought it was supposed to do something
else. Anyways, it was just way too confusing. We've > had many people
now
>thank us for removing this. You > can still save/load clipboards using

save/load
buttons. It is these buttons that most people
wanted, and they perform the functions that users
thought the 5 tabs were supposed to perform.

When I select to arrow to use the clipboard, it goes
directly to 'Add Source Detail'.
I cannot find where to access the 5 tabs to add
5 different sources.
