Lena, Yes, that method is perfectly correct. But there are at least three ways of doing this, and I am not clear as to which you are using:
1) Have a Master Source called "Newspapers" and then put the name of the paper in the Source Detail, together with date, details, image etc. 2) Have a Master Source for each *named* newspaper with the Source Detail having the date, details, image etc. 3) Have a Master Source for each time a named newspaper is used. In the case of 1) and 2) then the image *must* go in the Source Detail, but in 3) it could go in either. I use 1), so in my case the image has to go in the Source Detail. If I get an image after I have set up all the references, then I have to add the image to each instance it is used. It could be done using Access or OpenOffice, but usually it is faster to do it using Legacy.

Maybe I'm doing it incorrectly to begin with. I use the newspaper as the Master Source and the published event (in this case, a specific obituary) as the Detail. Is this incorrect?

Lana, I do not know of away of way of adding something to multiple Source Details, it is not the way that the Legacy sourcing is designed, and correctly so in my view, as it is intended that the Source Detail should apply to only a few individuals, whereas the Master Source applies to many. especially if, like me, you are a lumper. However, if you are a splitter, and, therefore, only use a Master Source for a specific event, as your post seems to suggest, why not just add it to the Master Source?

I am using 7.5.0.185 (paid version). Using SourceWriter, I added a Master Source (a newspaper) and transcribed an obituary into the Detail section. Using this, I sourced many names, places, dates, events, etc... relating to the deceased and family. Now -- after the fact -- I have obtained a clipping of the original obituary which I have scanned and would like to insert into the Source Detail. >From the Family View, I have went to the Individual’s Information >screen, opened the Assigned Sources icon, highlighted an Event sourced to this obituary (for example, ‘birth’ – the name of the newspaper is showing in the Source List Name column and the name of the individual is showing in the Detail column), clicked Edit Detail tab, then Multimedia tab, and successfully inserted the scan of the obituary. However, the scan only shows for this one specific event. Must I insert the scanned obituary one by one into each event sourced? Is there any way to edit all the items sourced back to this obituary to include the scan of the obituary with one simple edit? If so, how? When I edit a Source, it asks if I want the change to apply to all events or all future events, but when I edit a Detail it edits the one specific event and offers no other options.
