Hi Paula,
I have been diligently converting all of my sources to SourceWriter. With
ten plus years of heavily annotated research, it has been a long process
(about 15 months so far), and is now about 80% complete.
The main advantage of using the SourceWriter templates is it much easier to
meet the standards of _Evidence Explained_. As I plan to publish at some
point, this is important to me.
On the other hand, with the Basic source template, I find it is nearly
impossible to meet the standards of EE in source output for the various
requirements of full citations, subsequent citations, and bibliography
entries.
Others may disagree with the "standards" as set forth in EE, and this is
fine. To each his own.

To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com
I have been contemplating converting my (old) sources from Basic to Source
Writer format. However, I'm thinking I just have the urge to do it due to
my personality... "everything must match" etc.
I would appreciate it if any of you on this list could share with me any
concrete advantages to converting perfectly good Basic format sources to
Source Writer format.
Thanks in advance,
--Paula in Texas
