I just finished my portfolio for the Board for the Certification of Genealogists (BCG). During that process I found that my SW sources did not match the Evidence Explained formats exactly and instead of being able to copy and paste, I had to hand type them correctly. I am seriously thinking about going back to the Basic so that I can format the sources correctly but I have 745 sources with God only knows how many referenced to those sources. There are some sources that have over 400 entries. It would take me YEARS to get everything correct.

I have been following both these threads and have come to the conclusion that SourceWriter is not all it's cracked up to be. I stopped using SW several months ago and have been contemplating returning to Basic Sources. After following this discussion, I have decided to do that. I know most Legacy users are converting their Basic sources to SW. I am going to convert mine back to Basic. Any comments on how best to do that?
