Re: [LegacyUG] Share or copy sources between Family files
I'm researching two family lines, so I can keep each line in its own Legacy Family file. At times, I have a need to cite a source that was cited in the other file. Is there a way to copy the source from one file to the other without having to manually recreate it? I often have two files open on the split screen view. It is easy to put the same information on both files, as the program stores the information from the edit screen until the next screen is saved. I enter information on a person in one database, and after it is saved I go to the other database and pull up the same person, then just click the 'given', 'born', and 'in' labels. I suspect you can do the same type of entry with the clipboard as you do in a single file. -- Carl[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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] Share or copy sources between Family files
Hi Carl, The Source Clipboard will not transfer from one file to another. In split screen select master file (one with all sources). View / Master Lists / Source / Tag sources you want to esport to the 2nd file. Close Select the file you want source(s) imported to View / Master Lists / Source / Options / Import Lists / Under Master Sources Check Tagged only Not sure here but first try without Master Sources checked or you may import all.sources If that doesn't import anything check both Master Sources and Tagged only boxes Let us know which way gets just the tagged sources. Good luck -- Richard Van Wasshnova Seal Beach, CA - Original Message - From: Carl Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2008 10:54 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Share or copy sources between Family files I'm researching two family lines, so I can keep each line in its own Legacy Family file.

Re: [LegacyUG] Share or copy sources between Family files
I used to have multiple files, but combined them all a few years ago, but here is what I did to fix this then. Create a person, mine was named Dummy Person, sex ?. Add the source to Dummy, then gedcom 1 person (Dummy) to the other file. You can use it to move all sorts of stuff.
