Kevin: It depends on *where* the original source citation is. If it's in a Word document or at Ancestry.com, then you can copy/paste individual elements of the citation into appropriate fields in Legacy but you can't do the whole thing in one operation. We just had a fairly long thread (check the Archives) on Ancestry's source citation format and I agree with most of the posters that a good portion of their self-promotion can be omitted.
Creating proper source citations seems like a pain at first, but it gets easier with practice and it's one of the most valuable things you can do in building your database.

Is there a way to just copy and paste in a source citation without having to fill out the SourceWriter or the template? Thanks in advance.
