Hi Kathy,
I've never had five sources that I wanted to apply all at the same time
to the same items of data!
But assuming you did, you'd want to go into Customise > Sources and set
7.5 Clipboard capacity to "Allow up to five sources at once on the
Source Clipboard".
Then when you open the Source
Mike,
Does the Search>Find allow one to use "not equal to" as the search criteria?
If so, since the OP wishes all to be replaced wouldn't "not equal to" blank to
it?

The Source clipboard has slightly odd behaviour, For example select a
citation and copy it to the clipboard, overwriting if necessary. Open
the source clipboard (set up for 5 sources) and the first tab, Source 1,
contains your citation. At the bottom of the clipboard there is a right
facing arrow.

Thanks David, Wendy & Jenny.
If all 5 are pasted at once, I'm not in favour of it afterall.
I had hoped to be able to use the 5 sources selectively when entering a
newly found / newly source-proved family.
Thanks for the explanations everyone.

Using the Source Clipboard is not the way. Use the Save and Name option
and that will allow selective pasting from up to 10 sources.

Don't forget that it is very quick to either reload a saved source, or
copy an existing source to the Source Clipboard.

The fact is that when multiple sourcing was removed there were more complaints
about this than anything else. A substantial number of the silent users arose
unison to condemn the action.

I usually use this as I am cleaning up my file and I noticed that I forgot to
source something (like I sourced one child but forgot the other). You can fix
the sources quicker if you can paste the multiple sources at one time.
