Hi Denise,
If you have attached a source to the wrong event, you can copy it to
the Source Clipboard and then paste it wherever appropriate. Then
delete the wrong entry.
On the Assigned Sources window, you'll find one of the icons is Copy
Source to Clipboard. (lower left of this screen) This
I also have my files on an external (USB) drive. When I backup (both
data & multimedia) I backup to the computer's internal hard drive.

Hi Cathy,
A small point, but I would advise a little caution about using tabs in notes
(or any other fields for that matter). If at some time one wishes to create
pages then AFAIK html cannot reproduce the tabs and the format will have to
be changed manually using html.

I doubt if you are doing anything wrong Mary. You could have a look at
Search Options and check that the search options are what you would like.
Like all searches it is a matter of compromise, eg. should one only have an
approximate birthdate then searching that date +/- 5 years is unlikely to

I haven't tried it so I don't know; however, as the Notes are basically for
text files I would imagine one would lose the formating, assuming it can be
coded in the first place. I can see all sorts of problems arising and I do
not think I will be trying this.

If you are building web pages, you can use html code in any notes field
as long as you replace the < and > with « and ». The text will be a mess
in your printed reports, of course. Until Legacy enhances the format
options, any work around will be hit or miss, dependent of type face,
font size,
The Notes sections are really TXT rather than fully format-able word
processing, but there are two ways I can think of to get what you want.
One is to print and scan the excel table as a picture. The other - which
I have done - is to save it or any other small document as a PDF and then

I was aware of what you are saying but to format a page of tables with
borders etc in the notes, as would be required to meet the OP's
requirements, would, I think, be likely to cause problems and as we agree

Hello, Jane
I tried HTML, but it did not work.
I thought of using HTML because there is a buttom labeled "Strip
