Thanks, James. Yes, more than I asked for but very informative and I appreciate your taking the time to write it. Now I have to think again about whether to convert my sources to all basic or sourcewriter or just keep a mixture. I definitely will split many of my lumped sources. I don't do much

James, I notice that several months ago you were contemplating dropping Source Writer and going with the Basic system. Did you? If not, what changed your mind? > It's true that it exports something, and that something will be > imported just fine. The problem with it, and the reason for my > ca

For #2, the best I can come up with is to go to the Assigned Sources screen for each individual. From there, you can select the source in the list on the top half, and then in the "Output" tab on the bottom half, you can copy the entire citation. Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFa
