Wow, I got confused and I use the source clipboard all the time. Here's step-by-step.
1. Open a new event and name it. I generally use Residence instead of Census, but that's just a personal choice. 2. To the left of the description you will see a blue triangle. Click on it. This will open the source clipboard. 3. On the source clipboard select step 1 to create a new source. If you already have the master source created, just select it on the master source list, or create a new one if necessary. 4. When finished you will be returned to the source clipboard where you can fill in all the details you need for the individual involved. 5. Make sure the Prompt for Detail box at the bottom of the page is checked so you can change information for each individual if you need to. 6. Click Save in the upper right corner. 7. You are now back on the event page, so click the little dash just below the triangle. That says to add information from the source clipboard. 8. That will open the detail page so you can change name, etc. if you need to. Click Save at upper right. 9. finish the event page and save it. You only have to do this once. To enter an event for another person, add the event, click the dash, make any changes, save and done. I recommend the training CDs. They cover this in a lot more detail plus a lot more. It was a hard decision for me to make because I'm retired and on a fixed limited income. But, I'm glad I did. It is well worth the investment.
