Kim, Thank you for the suggestion. I checked and I have all of the pop-ups enabled, but it still doesn't work. Other pop-ups work in the program, but not on the source template.

Re: [LegacyUG] Four SourceWriter tips
In checking out what you stated, I found that the 'yellow box' at present time, only shows up over icons, but not over field names (like born) on neither the main screen, nor the individual information screen. But on the main screen, they do show up for the spouses of the children. If I remember correctly, when the main page showed short locations the long would come up in a 'yellow', but not now. I did not check any further than those mentioned.

Re: [LegacyUG] Four SourceWriter tips
On the individual information screen for myself, I hovered over death and it
never showed ('yellow'). I am not filling that in yet. ;-)
They seem to be disappearing somehow?

Re: [LegacyUG] Four SourceWriter tips
If you are talking about the source template, instead of a yellow popup each
field has text that is gray not yellow.
For more information, from the home page, click on the heading four
sourcewriter tips, and the information you seek is explained and
demonstrated.
