John, Use split-screen drag and drop. You'll have to make sure the old file has a different name than the newer file so you don't get the two mixed up. I'd append "old" to the file name.
Open the file that you want to copy into go to View > Split Screen to open a second window and select to open the older file. If you don't rename it, Legacy won't recognize it as a different file and won't let you copy You can find details in the Help file in Legacy under Copy: Drag and drop.
