Hi Lew, I'm with you. I also did several such merges under build 55 and although everything seemed to be satisfactory and definitely the quckest way to shrink my sources list I'd like to be sure. I have been told it is because the Source conversion tool is ready to be rolled out in the next build

Hi Lew, I too was very upset with Legacy after upgrading from build 55. I had done a half dozen merges of old syle to source writer which required only slight touch ups. By the time I got back to trying to do more (after build 55 was trashed) Legacy was protecting me from myself and not allowing.
