Hi Paula, That is just a simple quirk of Legacy since Source Writer Sources were introduced.
When you Highlite ANY Source Writer Source and then click the "Combine Highlighted Source with another in List" button all the radio buttons on top right should go "greyed out" except for the Cancel button. Just click "Edit > Cancel> "Combine Highlighted Source with another in List" button. Now it will go to grey and you can combine the 2 sources. Thank Ron Ferguson for that solution. -- Richard Van Wasshnova http://www.gencircles.com/users/vanwasshnova http://gw.geneanet.org/vanwasshnova On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 12:34 PM, Paula Ryburn <paula.ryb...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > This is probably just for Richard Van Wasshnova.
