|I want to use a Master Source that I've already created, but I can't find it | unless I read through all 1300+ sources. Is there any way I can search the | Master Source using a keyword? | | Ruth Nerud | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I know of no way to search using a keyword but if you know of an event or person where you've already used this source, just bring up the data and use copy to copy the source to your clipboard. If you need to change/ edit the detail, do that before you begin using it for the current event(s). I have approx 550 sources, not nearly as many as you, but I make my list as easy to use as possible by prefacing the Source List name with identifiers like Will: Book: Marriage record: 1850 Census: Obituary: Death Certificate: CD: Newspaper: Personal Research: etc. This way, I can quickly move to the area of interest in my source list and then use page down to quickly move through this specific area of sources. These Source List Names aren't used in the printed source, as they're only for my benefit. When I click on "Cite a Master Source", I just begin typing Bo and the list jumps right to the beginning of the list of books I've cited as sources. Then page down moves me quickly through the list until I see the book source I'm looking for. Other users may have similar ideas to help you organize your list. If so, I hope they chime in with their methods of handling a large source list. We can all learn from each other.
