Alan, just to add to what others have said. Although Legacy does NOT
support shared citations, if you follow the procedure to copy and
paste one citation pair (master detail) to another event, you will
only have ONE footnote and it will be the same footnote number for
every event that uses the

some buttons along the lower left. A couple of those are about copy and
paste of sources including the source detail. Now, I'm not sure how it

Thanks for the thoughts. I am using the Source Writer, I have also
looked at the source clipboard. However as i mentioned below I don't

You are into the realm of sourcing as a: 1) lumper or 2) splitter.
A lumper uses one source over and over and has all of the information
required in that one source (this sounds like what you want). A splitter
will created a new source for anything that is different. The splitter has

Sorry I missed something there. I got the impression on the second
read-through that you're trying to use the same source detail but for a
different source. Now, having you read you again, I'm still not sure if
I got that right. Now it sounds like you want the same source but you

Leaon,
I had not thought of it that way but yo are correct I did not follow
the Lumping/splitting email threads that close at the time but I do
remember them. You are also right that I want to do kinda a combination

Dennis,
thanks for helping to clarify this. I knew that Legacy did not support

I doubt if the programmers will ever do these things.
Sourcing is hard

would probably
cause much confusion. Just
