The newest version does premit multi sources, up to 10, to be added to a
person by using the 'three bar' icon on the indidual informationpage.
The MAJOR problem is when used, it will apply every source to a field that
has information in it.
Example, add a census record to an individual that has died, will also add
that census to his death.
The 'three bar' use would be prefect IF the programmers would change the
action from all fields with data to ONLY the ONE Highlighted source. Then
adding multi sources to a birth, for example, would work just Great, as in
v.6.
Try it in the Sample.fdb file so you can see the results, but will not mess
up your good files.
See earlier comments about this feature from last year. There has also
been other exchanges about this.

Joyce,
If you mean the ability to copy multiple sources using the clipboard
that does not exist in Legacy 7.0.
In Legacy 6.0 the clipboard could hold up to 5 sources at one time and
all were assigned when you pasted the clipboard to an event. That
multiple source clipboard was replaced with a single source clipboard in
7.0.

====some exchanges in 2009============================
Another way of using the v6 version for ADD up to 5 SOURCES at a single
time to a SINGLE event
is when you research a family through multi census years.
This eliminated the need to add each source individually.
One current v7 feature permits adding the source clipboard up to 10 sources
EVERY event for the individual [the 3 bars icon] that has something entered
into a field.
Example Name, Birth, Death and etc.
RATHER than to a SINGLE event.
Example Name OR Birth OR Death. [as in v6]
I previously made this suggestion to change the "3 bar icon" to accomplish
this , but apparently to no avail.
I still believe this would be an easy programming change AND certainly make
a definite improvement to the "3 bars icon' function.
