I'll give up again! Seems the answer to (some) of my problems is to fire off a question to LUG - next time I enter data the problem seems to have solved itself! My recalcitrant source clipboard entry is now retaining all info as entered, without extra unwanted characters. However, I still have the problem of having to make sure I 'use' a changed source twice after switching between source clipboard entries. I can see that once having selected the alternative source I MIGHT have to actually use it - but once I have selected that new source and clicked SAVE I would have expected that source to be saved to the event. I'm quite certain there are events I have entered recently that do not in fact have the additional source documented because I have neglected to save it twice. The problem doesn't exist if I repeatedly use the same source (and I can change details successfully) - it is only when I swap between sources. Maybe - having fired off another request for help - the problem will disappear when I start Legacy tomorrow or later today. By the way, I have downloaded the latest version (7.4) and problem still exists.
