Following on from Paula's point about the Source Clipboard. I got caught by using the "Add clipboard source to all used fields" button, the one with the three lines. This does exactly what it says! So it will assign sources to ALL the used fields for that individual, not just the new ones you've added. It's safest to use the single -- to paste to one field at a time. The three bars one is useful when you've just added an individual with name, birth date etc all from the same source.
Cheers, Rob

Marie,
By "not at the top..." I was referring to the Assigned Sources screen. I meant the Alt. Birth Events are not going to show up right after the Birth event in that list. However,, on the list of Events in the Individual Information screen, I think they show up in the order added until you re-order or sort them. So, if you have lots of Events and add a new one, I suppose it would look at first glance as though it had not been added....? ;)
Also, if all events don't show in the list on the Individual's Information screen you SHOULD have a scroll bar on the right to scroll through and see them ALL.
And, as far as assigning sources where you didn't intend to, I think it would be very easy to do that using the Source Clipboard! Just an accidental click on a little button with a dash on the left and voila! Whatever was on the Clipboard is now assigned! Not to mention if you click the one with multiple dashes on it, all fields with data get the Source assigned!! I have used the Clipboard very carefully. ;)

You also wrote <The Assigned Sources for "Alt. Birth" Events will all come
out together on
that screen, though not at the top of the list.> By the top of the list, do
you mean on top of the bottom half of the individual data entry screen where
events can be added? I've been concerned because all events don't show
there but then was greatly relieved to go to the descendency tab and there
they were!! I'm still afraid that after I do something or push this button
or that button, all of the information goes away and I'll never be able to
find it again!! so when it doesn't show up, I start to wonder. I've done
some very interesting things so far, like assigning sources where I didn't
want them assigned and I don't know how I did it. It is getting better
though.
