Marianne,
Other programs can't import a SourceWriter source so they are in a
Gedcom as "Basic" style.
As I understand it, where a SourceWriter template puts part of the
source detail in amongst the Master Source data, then the source doesn't
read as well but is understandable. I'm not sure how many templates do
that but some do.
Note if you go from Legacy to Legacy via Gedcom, SourceWriter sources
are all Basic Style in the new Legacy file.

What exactly do you mean when you say "Source Writer" citations are
changed to "Basic" in a GEDCOM? Are the reworded? Parts left out? How
would they be different?

It should be mentioned that SourceWriter sources are converted to
basic in a GEDCOM.

JoAnne,
If your Basic sources are well formatted there is no point in
converting them to SourceWriter sources.
If they aren't, then the SourceWriter Templates can help you
create a better source.
I've converted some and not others and still have some to go.
That's because when I was first sourcing 15 or so years ago, I
didn't do it very well for some sources as I didn't fully
understand what I was looking at.

Thanks for you clarification on SourceWriter& Clipboard.
So..... is there any reason too - or value in - me re-entering
sources that I originally entered using the Basic System and
using SourceWriter instead??
So far, I'm just thinking the value of Source writer is the
templates provided
What do you think???

**Can "Basic System" sources be used on the clipboard ?*
Yes, they can. Exactly the same as using SW sources.

No, you can set them up and then wander off for as long as you
like before going back and attaching the Source to the relevant
peopl/events.

*In other words, can I use the Source Writer to build my Master

Yes!
