[LegacyUG] Source template conversion tool
I have the following version of Legacy deluxe version 7.0.0.100. In the Legacy User Guide on page 72, it explains how to convert your basic style master source citations to the Sourcewriter template. I have tried to follow the instructions in the book but am unable to locate the Source Template Conversion Tool from the Master source list options button. I am stumped.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source template conversion tool
Legacy never completed a source conversion tool but a very nice one is available from a 3rd party.

This was included in the book, but never implemented yet. No discussion about
when it will work at present.

RE: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion tool - I can't find it
I also was one of these people hunting for the Source conversion tool for the longest (after reading about it in the manual), just to find out that it wasn't implemented yet. Unfortunately Millennia didn't chose a fairly simple solution by adding an itme in the Tool menu Source Conversion Tool and when you click on it, giving a short explanation that it is not implemented yet and will be done in a later upgrade. It would have saved a lot of time for a lot of people. It's still not to late to add this temporary message in the next update, because we see this question is coming up over and over.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool?
Mike, I'm an ex-TMG user myself. You're gonna love Legacy! I find just showing the Citation Previews in the Add Source Detail screen helps get through the sourcing process. That in itself was worth the up-grade from V. 6 to 7.0. It's SO much easier than TMG and as flexible as it needs to be. Good luck. Hugh W.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool?
How de know that what you ultimately come up with reagrding the source converter will match the instructions for its use which is found in the printed user manual and the on-line help screens? I really think that more programmers needs to be hired to bring the source converter to reality and to fix the dozens and dozens of problems that currently exist. In the absence of something like that, I can see the software and the company going down the drain. There are just too many problems and too many required work-arounds to accomplish things.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool?
Mike, I've spoken with the support desk and other Legacy users, and it will not be ready until a future update. In the meantime, I am converting my sources without it. I think if you are a splitter vs. a lumper, the SourceWriter Conversion Tool will not help much anyhow. I was a major splitter, creating a master source for every death record and whatnot. Therefore, I don't think I can convert most of my old master sources, b/c they are not true master sources. By the way, if you are unfamiliar with the terms splitting and lumping there are extensive discussions on them in the archives.

The problem is that I am not seeing that menu option on the submenu. When I click the Options button, I see: Delete Master Source Tag/Exclude Options... Change Surety Settings... Combine Duplicates... Purge Unused... Import Lists... Print... Zoom... Options for Non-Sources... And that's it. If anyone can enlighten me as to what stupid thing I'm doing that is keeping me from seeing the Source Template Conversion Tool option, I would really appreciate it.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
Here's another thought that might work for some folks. If you still have Legacy 6 on your computer and have 2 copies of your database (one in Legacy 6 format and one in version 7 format): Start Legacy 6 and open the old database Also start Legacy 7 and open the new database (If you have 2 monitors, you can put one on one screen and the other on the other screen. Otherwise just adjust your windows accordingly.) Now you can see your old sources in version 6 and copy/paste from them to the new setup in Legacy 7.

JLB wrote If you have the new Source Writer system turned on, and you open a Master Source from either the Master Source List or an Assigned Sources window you can then click the Add a new source button and it will bring up the Source Writer window. I don't think you mean *open* a Master Source. You have to click on *Edit* actually to open an existing source to view it and once you do that you cannot access the screen behind it where the Add button is. However, I think what you mean is highlight the old Master Source and then click the Add button. I think it needs to be stressed that you must have the Output tab of the old Source to the fore with the Show Entire Source radio button selected in order to see everything that you might want to copy over. It's also a good idea to reposition and/or resize the old Master Source window before clicking on Add, so that the new window can be arranged to give you full visibility of the Output section of the other window. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
The point is that for the Master Source, this is not a merge process but a replacement process. It's only the source details that are brought over. Note these aren't merged either if for the same person, same event you had both sources cited, you'll have two citations of the one Master source perhaps with different source detail depending on what you'd added to each.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
The good news is: Once you've added the new version of your source, you can combine the old source with the new one and Legacy keeps the new source. The bullet beside the source in the Master Source list lets you know which sources have been written with the new Source Writer. I've made the change for several of my sources that had multiple citations with different Source Details for each and all have been handled properly by Legacy. I'm sure I don't have as many sources as many of you, but I'm finding it helpful to do this conversion manually, since it forces me to look at each source and rethink my citations. It also helps to generate some of your favorite reports and see how the source citations are handled. You can see what needs to be fixed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Source Template Conversion Tool
The Manual has a lot longer lead time than the program itself. Manuals can be helpful so long as you realise they are always out of date and contain some hopes which aren't realised as well as some prototypes of features that are more fully developed in the released program. You'll note that some screen shots are different to the way the screens appear now. The Help file is always more up to date but that also isn't perfect - especially when the programmers are working hard on the features and bugs rather than the documentation at the moment. It was the Legacy staff trying this that led to it at least being delayed. The beta testers haven't seen a conversion tool at all.
