There's nothing in the Interview>Transcripts>Privately held template which makes it unsuitable for your purpose. (The "Recorded date field" in the Source Details refers to the date you attach the Source to the Event or Fact, not to a recording of the interview.) With SourceWriter it is perfectly ok not to enter something in a field if it doesn't seem appropriate and also often ok to put something in a field which doesn't exactly match the field name. > > > > Also, is the Source Clipboard only available at the time the > Source Detail is entered?

Even if the Detail you want for Person B isn't exactly what you entered for Person A it is often quicker to copy Person A's Citation to the Source Clipboard, paste it to an Event/Fact for Person B and just change the bits that differ. > -- Jenny M Benson 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
