Ok, I've read it (for the fourth time) - Stop trying to copy and paste. Go to Family View on both screens. Drag and drop 'John Smith' on the right to 'John Smith' on the left.
Proceed through the screens: Just The Individual Above, and anything else on the screen you're interested in. Click Start Copy Do what you want on next screens til you get to Merge. Then keep all information on the left, as you want it, go to the Events tab and send the Events on the right to the left side. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 6/24/2012 8:37 PM, JLB wrote: > If I could find you in the thread I would.
