I don't actually see the problem with having 24 detail citations. It's rather the point of having Master and Detail, that you can cite one Source and just change the small details as required. > >Regarding my third question, it isn't the detail I'm trying to copy ... >its master sources. Often master sources will be very similar (such as >the census), and having the ability to copy or duplicate one master >source would be a faster way to create the second one. Copying Master Sources is easy. I do it all the time to create new Sources - just select a similar one, click on Edit, make the necessary changes and Save, selecting to create a new Master Source rather then making changes to all existing instances of that Source. Learning from past mistakes, I have a strict rule for myself about how I do this. I select a Source, click Edit, change the Source List Name and Save as a new Master Source. Then I select the new Source, edit it as necessary and Save it again as the same Source. Doing it this way means I do not accidentally overwrite an existing Source as I have been known to do! -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
