I think that's what Jenny is saying.
And what Ron is saying is: Try it once and see if it works before doing any

Sorry, Mike, but I think you will find that you have to start from scratch. One

Thank you for you time and valuable suggestions. I will give your them very
serious thought and likely will adopt change what I am doing. However, I hope
I can create a series of Master Sources as you suggested given
I agree, Ila. Another analogy is to think of the master source list as the
card catalog in a library. A card catalog card gives you a lot of
identifying information about the book (or DVD, video, or whatever) it
describes, but it doesn't contain any text from the book.
I wish to thank everyone who has contributed to this discussion. It has
really helped me, as a newbie, understand the Sourcing system in Legacy.
Before this discussion, I was really lost, having come from a totally
different way of tracking sources (Generations).

research material. You made bibliography entries with details of the
book where you found the material. Then for each spec

Judy,
I'm a relative newby myself, but I believe the answer is as follows:
Your description of the source in the master source list should include only
the facts/details relevant to the letter as a whole, like the names of the
author and the recipient and the date. You don't want to enter text

I have a question about master sources. I am a new user, and am adding some
new people to my file. I have a document (a letter) which I want to use as a
master source for these new people.
So I created a master source, and started inputting the pertinent text for
each person as I went along.
