Thanks, Cathy, for the helpful suggestion. I did not even know what my options were to put in the File ID. I've tried a couple of my sources, and I believe this will solve my search problems and still maintain my ability to find the actual document in my 3-ring binders.

I just knew I'd find someone in Legacy-land that would help me. It's an early Christmas present for me - thanks again.

Hi Ruth,
Put the Number you have in your file in the File ID slot rather than the Source Name - then you can still easily go from Legacy to your 3 ring binders. I'm more specific and have my originals numbered with type and a number - eg: Birth001, Ship(ping List)001, Obituary001 etc

Thanks for all the ideas on searching the Master Source. I start each source with the word Source, i.e., Source 1, Source 2, etc. so that if I want to go back to the copy of the source to confirm the information or to make a copy of the source for someone who has requested it.

How do the rest of you file your sources if you don't somehow number them in the file folder, 3 ring binder or however the sources are filed if the number on the copy doesn't match the number of the source.
