Thanks. I'll try that. -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Brian/Support Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 1:22 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Central Place for All Source Details (Citations)?
There is no central place to access all the details linked to a single master source and amend them, en mass. There is a report you can prepare to help you with finding where those details are used however. Go to View > Master Lists > Source Click on options and select Print There is an option there to print Master sources and all citations (details) to each one. The sub option of include specific events will list not only everyone in your file but also the events for each person. By tagging Master Sources you can create a report for a group of sources that will divide your project into manageable pieces.
