Please be aware for those who use the Sourcewriter format that it is not supported by the standard GEDCOM format. The name of the Source in Sourcewriter gets changed when exported via standard GEDCOM.
“If preservation of the source info when transferring between Legacy and another program is important to you then you will need to use the Basic Source System. The GEDCOM standard does not support the output of source data with the detail required by the SourceWriter System.

Each has pros and cons. The pro of Basic is that you have completely control over how you want your sources to look. The pro to Sourcewriter is that since it is fill in the blank, you can achieve consistency in how your sources are entered more easily than with Basic. When you add a source you can pick basic style or a sourcewriter style. michele From: Joan <mailto:jk...@yahoo.com> Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2011 7:53 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Research Guidance - To-Do List - Source Writer Can I ask a really basic question? I have been using Legacy ( in conjunction with GenoPro for it's superb charting) for at least 10 years, but had never heard of 'Sourcewriter' until I joined this forum. What is 'Sourcewriter'? What does it do? How do you access it? Where is the manual about it?

I have started adding things from the research guidance straight to the to-do list. I found several books that are available locally. What I didn’t know is, when you add something from the research guidance straight into the to-do it adds a source to your master sources. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this until it put 10 basic style sources on there. As far as I can see, there is no option to use the source writer. If I end up using these books as a source, I will have to add them the right way to the master sources and delete the basic ones. Am I missing something? Is there some way for you to tell the program to use source writer? michele 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/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
