Scott I am a little confused by your example of exactly what you are trying to do. I have found a variety of ways to add/create/change events for my needs. As to a copy and change technique, I will go to a person and click on them to edit, then go to an existing event they have, dbl-click on an event I want to open for editing, then just under the "help" button are 2 icons, one is 'copy to clipboard', the other is 'paste from clipboard'. I then click on the 'copy' icon to copy the event, information, and attached sources to the clipboard. Then close the event, click on 'add' to add new event, when the blank event opens, click on the 'paste' icon to paste the copied event, info, and source to this 'new' event. At this time I now select a new event name, or create one if needed. Also delete/attach sources as needed. Now if I want to use this same event and info for others, I 'copy' the current event and changes to the clipboard, save the current one, then go add it to others as I need.
Don't know if this would work for you or not. Just an example I use.

It appears this is still the case. Want to check to see if I'm missing something. If not, this would be a great addition to future versions ... having to retype each sentence option is a pain. (I'm creating the missing "Alt. Marriage" and would like to use "Alt. Birth" or "Alt. Death" as a template -- also, I want to create "Disproven" events in the same way -- right now, this is a somewhat laborious processes) Scott 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 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
