Re: [LegacyUG] Selecting Source Multiple Times for One Person

2009-03-09 Thread Connie Sheets 

To add one source to multiple facts (the basic ones, i.e. name, birthdate, 
death date, burial), you must first load the source onto the source clipboard.  
You must also enter the data into each field.

Then, look at the left hand side of the edit screen, and you will see 4 blue 
symbols; choose the 3rd one down, it looks sort of like an equal sign = but 
with 3 horizontal lines, not 2.  Click on that icon and you will have added the 
clipboard source to all fields in which you have entered data with just one 
click.

Sorry,

You're correct about Alt-2.  That's what happens when you try to dash 
off a quick answer.  (;-)

NOW we're cookin'.

Thanks to all--this was all excellent help. I'm always glad when I ask
a question; I often wish I had asked much earlier, as in this case.
Thanks,

Re: [LegacyUG] Selecting Source Multiple Times for One Person

2009-03-09 Thread MJMethod 
It doesn't sound like you are copying sources to the clipboard
 
- If you are on the Sources screen, highlight the source you want to  repeat
- in the bottom left, click on the clipboards icon, then click  
"Copy/Overwrite Existing"
- highlight another event you want to use the same Source
- click the "Add clipboard source" icon (just above clipboards, looks like  a 
"-" sign), then you can edit the detail for the different event, or you can  
click Save. Note: if you are also going to be repeating the same detail, you 
can  un-check the "prompt for detail" box in the bottom left before you Save. 
Then  you won't be bothered with it each time.

I will read about it as suggested, but your steps seem fairly easy.
Problem is, everything works until I get to the F2 part. It doesn't do
anything. What am I doing wrong?

Okay, that absolutely answers my question, though I still will read up
on the Source Clipboard, so that Kirsten won't be sad! ;-)

And I can see where Bert's suggestion will work where, as is mostly
the case, I want to assign the same source to every field that is
completed about that person.

But, there are times when I would like to be able to just paste it in
one blank field, where the F2 process that Gene was talking about
should work. So as soon as I figure out what to do to either make the
F2 work, or another way to do the same thing, I'll be good to go.

2009-03-09 Thread Kirsten Bowman 
Oh Barbara, that's so sad!  What you're missing is one of Legacy's greatest
features:  the Source Clipboard.  Build your source citation on the Source
Clipboard and then it takes just one click on each field where you want to
attach it.  If you find later that you inadvertently missed a field, you can
go back and re-copy the citation to the Clipboard and then attach it to the
additional field.

Read about the Source Clipboard in Help or experiment with it.  You'll love
it!

 On the individual information screen click on the Sources Icon. Select an 
event or fact with the source you wish to copy to other events for this 
person and then click on the bottom left icon that looks like two pages. 
This copies that source to the clipboard.  Place the cursor in any other 
fact/event you wish to have this source assigned to and press F2.

RE: [LegacyUG] Selecting Source Multiple Times for One Person

2009-03-09 Thread ronald ferguson 

Barbara,
 
You are not missing anything because what you are requesting is not available 
in Legacy. Remember that you are *not* linking the source to a person but to 
different events eg. a census linked to: name, birth date, residence, place of 
birth, occupation. All of these are either different events or different fields.

Using the Clipboards is the only way of speeding the process up, but there is 
no avoiding having to save.

 On the individual information screen click on the Sources Icon. 
Select an event or fact with the source you wish to copy to other events 
for this person and then click on the bottom left icon that looks like 
two pages.  This copies that source to the clipboard.  Place the cursor 
in any other fact/event you wish to have this source assigned to and 
press F2.

Barbara:

Go to Legacy, Help, and search for Source, Clipboard.

This has all the information you should need.

[LegacyUG] Selecting Source Multiple Times for One Person

2009-03-09 Thread Barbara Ford 
I have never been able to have a clear understanding as to this
question: Is it possible to do something OTHER than saving, closing,
ETC., several times, to add the same source to each aspect of a
person. That's not clear, sorry. What I mean is this: When putting in
information about a person, right now I am having to click, save,
etc., for each fact, such as Name, Birth, Death, Burial, when usually
it is the same source for all of those. I'm spending hours. Surely
there is a better way. What am I missing?
