I understand the search and replace function will work with text. My real question is what about adding and/or changing a picture. It would seem that there is no way to do so without opening each and every source detail.
If anyone knows of any work around to avoid this huge task please let me know. Thanks for all the feedback.

This comes up a lot...and regularly. You can troll the archives for much more discussion. I believe your issue is the primary reason that the splitter/lumper debate never ends. Count me as a splitter for this and other reasons. The search and replace fix is an effective one in many cases, and I was very happy when I learned of it some time ago...Ron I think. If you go to the training videos, where an example is given using a book as a Master Source and pages numbers for Detail, I think you will realize that by definition (and design), the Detail is usually unique to each citation that uses it and therefore Should be considered on a one by one basis if changes are made. For this and other recent threads (not you Kevin, you asked a reasonable question)....I think many LUG folks are way to quick to yell "bug" or "programmer error" whenever they see something they don't like or didn't do right in the first place. Legacy does a good job, very good for the price. They aren't going to change it for every whim someone has. dick On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 4:14 PM, Kevin Long <[email protected]> wrote: > I often find additional information that I forgot on the source detail > (not the master source definition), in particular, a picture or file. > Is there a way to update all citations of that source detail?
