I used to want to have blanks in my reports, but now I don't. I
cannot get the option to light up for me to access it, but I could in
the past. Any suggestions?

I was wondering if I could change the "specific" Master Sources I
created
(e.g., Giovanni Barberi's Civil Birth Record, 22 Jan 1833, Cerreto
Sannita, Italy) and transform them into a "general" Master Source
(e.g.,
Civil Birth Records 1809-1860, Cerreto Sannita, Italy). If I can
do that,
it will make my effort much easier.
It's easy enough to amend or edit a Master Source and then EITHER
save it
to overwrite the previous version OR save it as a new version with a
different name. If you take the former option, you will then need
to go
to each person using that Master Source and change the Source
Details as
appropriate. If you take the latter option, no one will be using the
newly created Source and you can then go through your file attaching
that
new Master Source as required, with appropriate Source Details. In
that
case, you will probably also be deleting the old Source from some
people.
Having said that, I would think about how many people and Sources
you have
entered and decide whether it is worth starting again from scratch.
You
do not need to re-enter all the individuals' data, just delete the
Master
Sources, create new ones and attach as required.
Also, since I have created specific
Details associated with each specific Master Source, could I amend
those
Details to include more detail and link them to the appropriate
"newly
created" Master Sources?
If you edit a Master Source and re-save it with the same name, you can
then go to anyone using that Source and edit the Source Details.
But if
you delete a Master Source you will also delete any Source Details
attached to it and if you create a new Master Source (either from
scratch
or by amending an existing one) there will be no Source Details to
edit.
