Hi Marie, The sources of course will be converted to version 8 when you convert your various files.
However, I think you are asking how you copy the Master Source list from one file to another as the files have a related topic even though the people aren't related so that they use many of the same sources. When you are in the file you want to copy sources to, go to View - Master Lists - open one of the Master Lists (may as well be sources since that is what we're talking about but it doesn't matter). When in the Master List, click Options and choose Import That will open a dialogue where you specify the Family File from which you want to copy the list and a place where you tick the lists you want to import. So you can import a Location list and/or Event Definitions etc as well as the Master Source list. For more help, click the Help button on that dialogue or search the Help index using Import and look for lists/Master lists in the sub-topics.
