Hi Tam,
Dennis let you know how to copy an existing source with source detail
to the Source Clipboard.
Here's a further trick as you learn.
The Source Clipboard is a wonderful tool though I never use more than
the top tab. I find it hard to imagine adding more than one source at
a time without ending up with sources where they don't apply.
However I use the Save button all the time. You can Save up to 10
versions of the Source Clipboard and then they are available by right
clicking the Source Clipboard arrow (or the Load button).
I have my most used sources sitting there ready to go. I save them
without source detail and the first time I use one in a day, I first
re-save with today's date.
If you knew the source detail was going to be relevant to later
people, of course you could save it with the detail as well.
Cheers,
Cathy

Hi --
I'm remembering now why I didn't like using the source clipboard. If I
need to use that specific information for another person or event, I have
to retype all the details again. This isn't the end of the world, but I
do get interrupted a lot.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a way to pull up the source
detail and copy that somehow to the clipboard again without having to
re-enter all the information, so I can use it again?
I tried using the different source tabs in sequence, thinking that most
likely what I might look for later would be there, but then when I
"source" the entry, it cites all five -- not what I'm wanting. :-)
I guess I just don't know how to use the source clipboard?
TIA
Tam
