OK, I knew what I meant. I only want to copy the template. I created various templates for sources that I use over and over. Example is the 1850 Federal population census. I save it as 1850 Fedrl, then when I have another 1850 Federal, I just pull up the template, add the particulars for that family, save as a new source.
The original template is saved in it's basic structure, 1850 Fedrl. The information to that specific person/family is saved with specific name 1850. What I want to do is copy the basic templates to a new project. I don't want to transfer already filled in source templates, just the basic template.
