You can select 1 source from among several on the Clipboard, but it is not
straight forward. This is a method I stumbled on by accident.
1. Load the sources (up to 5) on your Clipboard; check "Prompt for Detail" on
each Source screen.
2. When you want to attach a single source to an event, click on the "Open
Source Clipboard" button (the blue up arrow button on the left of the screen).
3. When the Source Clipboard screen opens, if the source you want attached
isn't on the "Source 1" page, move it there using the "Swap" buttons on the
right.
4. Click the "OK" button.
5. Click the "Attach Clipboard Source..." button (the blue dash or 3 blue
dashes buttons on the left of the screen).
6. When the Source Detail screen opens, click on the "Save" button.
7. The next Source Detail screen (for Source 2) will then open. If you do not
want to attach this source, click on the "Cancel" button. The Clipboard will
close and Source 2 and all subsequent sources will not be attached.
If you want to attach more the one, but not all of the sources on the
Clipboard, make sure that you move the desired sources to the front in step 3
and click on the "Save" button to attach each one.
This work-around does require a little work, but if you have a large number of
events you want to attach multiple sources to, it might save some time.
Hope this helps.

In that case that feature is useless.
