Elizabeth, I have checked the methods using Legacy Basic. It is correct that you cannot use Source Writer in the Basic version and you are actually using Basic Sourcing. Actually, for what you are doing this does not matter.
The result which you got when trying to use the copy button on the Assigned Sources Screen is also accurate, you cannot copy to the Source Clipboard from that screen in the Basic version. I have checked the method which I gave, and which does not use the Library Book Icon, using the Basic version, this does work in Legacy Basic. I suggest that you try it.

I followed what you all said to do but when I get to..... "Below that is a conventional copy button that says it will Copy Source To Clipboard. Hit it and the selected source will be copied to the Source Clipboard"........it just opens a window that says that is a Deluxe Feature Only." I use the free version and cannot upgrade. [Note: My husband does not allow me to spend any finances on my genealogy interests. We are senior citizens living on his Soc. Sec. and I "AM OK" with that. I understand and it does not bother me....and I am 'not' looking for a handout. He willingly helps me copy things down whenever we have an opportunity to go to a library, Historical Society, etc. I just wanted to explain the reason I cannot upgrade before someone suggests I upgrade.] Is there some other way to do what you suggest but in the free version??

The details should show at the bottom of the window with an * in each tab that has data. You have now selected the source. Just to the left of the source information tabs, there is another blue up-arrow button that will also open the Source Clipboard. Underneath the up-arrow is another blue '-' button. Hover the mouse over it and see what it says. Below that is a conventional copy button that says it will Copy Source To Clipboard. Hit it and the selected source will be copied to the Source Clipboard. You can then check by opening the clipboard. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
