There is also a manual way to combine sources if the method Ron gave you does not work to eliminate all the duplicates. In the Master source list look at the bottom for the button labelled Combine Highlighted Source with another in List. When you click that button the wording will change. Select the other duplicate and click the button again to combine the two sources.
If there are more than two that you want to combine you can highlight multiple sources using CTRL Click (Hold control while clicking. Once several are highlighted click the combine button. Select the destination source and click again to combine all the highlighted sources. NOTE: If the sources are sourcewriter style all must be based on the same sourcewriter template or they cannot be combined.
