Hi Angela,
I can't imagine never having used Source Detail ;-)
What you are missing, I think, is the Source Clipboard.
You can load a Master Source plus Source detail
onto the Source Clipboard and then use that to
attach both to any other event or individual.
If you've already entered the source detail for
someone, you go to their Assigned Sources screen
and highlight the Master Source and Source detail
line you want and use the Copy to Source Clipboard button.
For more information on using the Source
Clipboard check out Help and/or the Training Videos.

Hi,
I am a SPLITTER with my sources having a
master source for each family in each census. I
have NEVER used the source detail. With the new
SourceWriter I am experimenting with LUMPING
having just one master source for each census year.
My problem
in the source detail I added the
detail text with all of my individual familys
census details
(ie name, age, profession, etc for everyone in the household).
I can use that for the first person when adding
a master source but for the next family member
when I cite a master source I dont see how to
re-use the same source detail without
re-entering all of the source details all over again. What am I missing??
*** I am NOT trying to start a discussion about
Lumping and Spliting ones source list
. If you
are new to this list and curious there is
lengthy discussion of this topic in the archives
(see link at the bottom of this message) a few months ago. ***
Thanks,
Angela
