No. You're looking in the wrong place. Under the Help button on the Edit Event screen, there are two icons. The one on the left copies the event and it's source details to the Event Clipboard. The one on the right, pastes the contents of the Event Clipboard into the current Event. This is what Lionel was talking about. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg 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
