Rick, Thanks so much for this hint, I had never heard of the picture gallery clipboard.
Thanks also to Brian for his advice.

The picture gallery is really a link gallery , Legacy is just storing a link to the image file not the image itself. If you have taken the trouble to set up an image for a source citation , maybe added a description , date and notes , you don't want to keep repeating that same manual process. The picture gallery clipboard will help you. In your source citation picture gallery , right click on the icon you wish to copy and you get a dropdown list of options. Copy will copy that one item, Copy all will copy that entire picture gallery ( if you have multiple pictures ) , Copy Append is useful if you want to copy pictures from several different galleries. When you have finished the copy just go to the target gallery, for example the individual or a particular event picture gallery and then right click in a blank picture space. Once again you get the dropdown list but this time with a paste option , telling you how many images you have on the clipboard. When you paste the item or items , all the description, date and notes are added as well as the image (or rather the image link). It also applies to any files you have in the picture gallery, not just image files but also sound files text file, anthing you can put in the gallery in fact.
