Could someone explain step-by-step how the Clipboard works? I've looked at the
archives, and I've tried to use it but it seems sooo frustrating and not
time-saving at all to me. Yet I see where others use it all the time and like
it. I just don't get what I am supposed to put in it and how to
You will find plenty of discussion in the list archive about whether to
include the street address in the location field. Including quite recently.
Regarding the township, my opinion is that it unnecessarily
lengthens/clutters the location, in the case where you know the city/town
name. So:

The bottom line is, that each clipboard works as if a multifield Ctrl-C and
Ctrl-P tool. It duplicates a full screen page to be moved to a different place:
person 1 to 2, source 4 to 5. Then when there, you can change any or all
fields. Do little experimenting. Backup first, then explore. The

I've never bothered with a lot of the frills in Legacy because I've

of my data originates there.
Thanks for the explanation.

So when would you use the Clipboard? All of my event data is unique to

Of course they do, and that is what one would include in the individual

As regards to GEDCOM export, when you are on the GEDCOM export screen, click
Customise. Then Export these items. Surety level is the QUAY tag. Remove it.
I have a number of items I customise so I saved a list that I load each time.

How sad it is that they didn't allow it for those of us using Basic Sourcing.
One of the strong point os Legacy used to be accommodating many users.
We were ignored, and the time it takes to enter 5 identical sources to scores
of individuals is ridiculous! BRING IT BACK!!
