You can customize the colors of the data content so that anything that has a source attached is a different color. Go to options>customize>colors and you can change the way your screens look. I have mine so the data is blue then if there is a source it is red. Russ

When I look at a person, the events tell me what I have found, or not found. If I put it in as a death source, I can't easily see that I have found the death certificate.

The death certificate would be a source for the death event. Russ From: Marli Yoder Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2011 3:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Colors for events Thanks! I know that you cannot read feelings into non-verbal, non-body language messages! Still... I will withdraw my suggestion, sounds like it's a poor idea, and can't be done easily. Any suggestions on how to do otherways?

Search for customize color. I think his comment was an exaggerated form of “Ouch”!
