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.
