Re: [LegacyUG] SourceWriter: help with source detail
Hi Patricia, Yes, I leave the old source in place until I have created the new one in SourceWriter and tested it to make sure that all the info is there and it works properly. In the process of creating the SW source, I do a lot of copying & pasting which makes it faster. Beware that there are still a few bugs in SW - e.g. in a number of source types, if you enter the source text and then choose a repository, all your text will disappear. So now I always choose my repository first and then enter the text and I always test the source by completing it and then reopening it to make sure everything works before I delete my old source. Hope this helps. If you have a more specific question, I'd be glad to try to help out. I've now converted about 600 sources to SW.

Re: [LegacyUG] SourceWriter: help with source detail
Deborah Are you leaving the old source in your files until you get the new one completed? I have been looking at my sources and need to do some work on them from when I first started and I would love to use the SourceWriter.

[LegacyUG] SourceWriter: help with source detail
Up to this point, I've been creating a new SourceWriter master source for each source. For instance, for the 1850 Cincinnati census, I've created a new master source for each census record for each family and then link each family member to that master source, but I have not used the source detail at all. Today I tried creating a single master source and then individual source detail for each of the associated people. It's logical, of course, but when I went to re-assign the master source, I found there was no way to re-assign the source detail from a previous entry as well. 2 questions: IS there a way to re-assign the source detail from one individual to another individual? Is there a way to call up the source detail entries for each master source? Thanks so much for you help :) Deborah Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
