There are a large number of master sources built into Legacy. Some of
those you can just use, or better you can base one from a Master Source.
If they do not match your requirements, which is likely since they are
based around standard sources like census, BMD etc., you can always
create a new source definition.
Taking that route, with the SourceWriter, you will be led through the
path of using a pre-defined source, as a basis, or with a new type of
source with a long list of possible types. Working through that process
you can define a New Master Source which you can then use against
multiple events.
There is a lot of entries in the Help system and it is well defined in
the manual.

Chris and Shirley:
Thanks for the suggestions but what I really want to know is how you
create sources for any information found in the yearbook that you
include in your tree. For example, if the yearbook shows your ancestor
participated in the Debate Club from 1935 to 1937, and if you choose to
include this as an Event for your ancestor, what source format do you
choose from those available with Legacy?

Hi
I would only use the Snipping Tool if there was no other way to save
the image. Remember that it is limited to the resolution of your
display, which might be lower than the resolution of the original
image.
Per se, if the images are not available for a direct download then it
is possible that they are legally protected and should not be saved
locally. Probably not an issue if just used by you, but definitely an
issue if they are to be published.

Chris

Hi Richard, I "snip and save" photos using the snipping tool on my
computer, and save them in my documents file. Then I can attach them
to the person in Legacy. In that way, I add all kinds of photos to my
Ancestor Chart and to my Ancestor book. Its a bit complicated but it
works. There might be easier ways that I am not aware of...but that
is what I do.

I'm preparing to save info from an old high-school yearbook that's
now available online as scanned images of the original pages. My
problem is finding a source format that's appropriate. None of the
formats in Source Writer seems to be a really good match so I'm
wondering what other Legacy users have done. Any suggestions
appreciated.
