There is no "little hack". The directions are quite clear - use the "-" for a single source to the item where the cursor is located -- use the triple "-" to source everything on the page that has data. It makes it so easy if you find a family with a bunch of kids on a census. AS you enter the information on them - just hit the triple "-" and they are all sourced. Quick and easy!
I use it quite a bit! Keith -- Keith A.
