Many thanks for this, but two points; How do I create a template? The only way I seem to be able to do this is to name a master source then copy & paste the template details from a saved Notepad file. This is pretty clumsy!
1. New master source: Birth certificate 2. Copy from Notepad: Date of Birth: Place of Birth: Name: Father: Mother: Father's Occupation: Signature: Reg Date: 3. Fill in details manually. I want to be able to combine 1. & 2. above I also want to similarly create a new master source called 'Marriage certificate' - and change the name from 'unspecified' to 'Marriage' Thanks Joan On 03/08/2011 23:15, Jenny M Benson wrote: > On 03/08/2011 22:38, Joan Kemp wrote: >> How can you change the name of a source from 'Unspecified'? >> >> I have set up a new master source as a template for the information >> contained on a standard birth certificate. >> I have called it 'Birth certificate template' but it would be nice if it >> weren't listed as 'Unspecified' > Unspecified is not the name of a Source.
