Judy,
The Master Source should be the same for each individual. The differences
should be entered in the Detail screen. After you create the Master Source
with the common information for the letter, select that for as the source
for the first individual and enter the text for him in the Source Detail
screen. For the next individual, select the same source, but change the
Detail text. Thus, for each individual, the Master Source info will be the
same, but the Detail text will be different.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Master source question
I have a question about master sources. I am a new user, and am adding
some
new people to my file. I have a document (a letter) which I want to use as
a
master source for these new people.
So I created a master source, and started inputting the pertinent text for
each person as I went along.
However, I find that this seems to be a snowballing effect...the text for
the last person reappears for the new person and so on.
How do I create a master source, such as a document, that is used for
multiple people, and just refer to the part that pertains to a certain
individual in that individual's source?
