My suggestion that Sharon should use "Search for an Individual with Master Source containing X" did not work for her because she did not want a list of Individuals, but was only interested in the actual Sources. I have worked with Sharon off-list and am acceptable work-around has been found. This is to use Search & Replace, putting the same word or phrase in both the "Search for" and "Replace with" fields (in case of accidentally clicking on Replace and making an unwanted change). When the first instance of the required text is found, near the bottom of the window "Item name: XXX" appears, where XXX is the title of the Master Source. I thought I would mention this here in case it is useful to anyone else. It's not ideal, and won't work where the text one is seeking is in a field not included in the Search & Replace options, but could be handy on occasion. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
