Okay, I think I am still making this way harder than I think it should be...
I am trying to have one source/source detail about a census record applied to multiple family members. Individual 1 - I enter an event, click on the source icon and using the source writer create a source and the source detail. [That is all okay] Then, Individual 2 - I enter an event, click on the source icon and click on 'cite a master source'. Finding my source in the list I highlight it. I then can click select and it prompts me to enter the source detail. (it is here that I though Ron was suggesting that I click 'save' on the source detail screen which is just saving a blank detail screen.) I just want to re-use the same source detail that I have already recorded for individual #1. (Is there any way to do this from the master source list??? I'd like to be able to scroll through the master source list, highlight that source and then scroll through the perhaps numerous source details attached to that particular source and be able to select appropriate one). I then played around some more and tried out the source clipboard that I have never used before. Is there any way to access the source detail other than going back to the original person, going into his specific source, copying it onto the clipboard, closing individual #1, going to individual #2, opening his events and pasting the source from the clipboard? That seems to be an awful lot of steps to just add a source with the source detail.
