I misspoke. I ad been clicking on the "+" button, but did not have the screen in front of me when I was writing the email, and so had forgotten that.
I tried adding the Source as you suggested from within the Edit button. Neither tapping the Alt key or Alt spacebar brings the screen forward. The former gives me the run-time error "9", and the latter does the same while also bringing up a Move/Close dialog box. For either option, clicking on OK (my only option at that point) bounces me out of Legacy. What should I do?
