Hi John,
You may also want to learn to use the Source Clipboard.
When the Source you want is on the Clipboard, you simply need to have
the cursor in the correct field (birth, death, census, general note
etc) and click the single line and the source on the clipboard is
attached to that event.
The source clipboard is very convenient and a fast way of adding
sources, but you do need to know how to use it. I never use more than
the front tab and I usually tick "prompt for detail" so I can
double/triple check that I'm adding what I think I am. It's so easy
to quickly load another source (right click on the Source Clipboard
arrow and choose one of your saved sources) and go back to entering
data from the main source you are using and forget you've digressed -
at least it is for me ;-)

Hello Jan
I am amazed that I have been using Legacy for several years and I
was not aware that sources could be entered as you have stated
I need to get to work immediately with my sources
Thanks a million
