Kathie,
Are you using Legacy 5 Deluxe Edition?
Here is some info from the help file. I don't know if this is quite what you are looking for?
The Source Clipboard is a feature in Legacy that can tremendously increase the efficiency with which you document the sources of the information you enter into your Family File. The Source Clipboard holds a copy of up to five source citations you are currently working from. You can then record the sources of each piece of information by simply clicking one button.
The Source Clipboard holds the references of up to five sources in the Master Source List. You can set or change the master source citations by clicking the Set button on each of the five tabs. (See Master Source List for more information.) The clipboard also holds the detailed information about where in each source the current information is coming from. This is usually a page number, microfilm item number, etc. The actual source text being cited can be entered in the large text box below the detail field. You can also set the Surety Level for each source information. This reflects your confidence in the accuracy of the information. See Source Detail for more information. You can choose to not have one or more of the source details added to the end of the master sources when printed on a report. To make this change, uncheck the Add this Detail to Source Citation on Reports box on each of the tabs. To exclude a source citation from printing at the end of reports, uncheck the Include this Citation on reports box. To include the actual source text in citations printed on reports, check the Add this Text to the Source Citation on Reports box. If you want to be prompted for the Source Detail each time you use the clipboard, leave the Current Source Detail field blank and check the Prompt if Blank box to the right of it. This is a convenient way to cite sources that are on many different pages of a document.
When you have entered the current source information, click OK to return to the entry form.
Remember, you can place up to five source citations on the Source Clipboard at once. When you have it set up the way you want you can also save up to ten different variations.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Repetitious entries
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but ...
I am entering data from census reports. The Master Source and Source Detail for EVERY entry is the same (I use "1930 census" for the Master Source and put the details -- state, county, SD, ED, Sheet # etc. -- in the Source Detail frame.)
Even though I am using "copy and paste" for the source details, this is still a tedious exercise: click on "Source", click on "Select", paste the detail, click on date of entry, click to close, click to save.
Is there some way to add the Master Source and Source detail globally to every event that arises from this census report? Or am I asking for the moon? *grin*
