Dennis,

This would be Martha's best bet if she is using the Basic Source System, or if 
she can use the same template in Sourcewriter, but I'm not sure it will work 
if, say, the derivative source she wishes to replace was written with one 
Sourcewriter template (e.g. book) and she needs to use a new template (e.g. 
court records>loose papers) for the original record.  While it may be possible 
to "tweak" the current template, it may not produce the best results depending 
upon the specific template and how close she wants the result to be to an 
EE-style format.

Or am I missing something in my thinking? (I don't have time to experiment 
today to find out for myself).
