Nancy, I'll jump in here to answer your question about repeating sources for other people. In RM you can copy a source and then paste it for the same person for various facts (I do that a lot when the source has information re parents, marriage, etc.) and also paste it as a source for others in your database. In the Citation Manager, highlight the source you want to copy and click Memorize (or Alt-M). Then to paste it, go to the source you want to paste it to, and click Alt-P. Saves a lot of time and no hassles with the mouse. Note that you might want to change the source details for other people. I love the idea FTM has of giving you the last 15 sources. Please be sure to request that for RM and I'll request it, too. The developer, Bruce Buzbee, has always been responsive to requests from users. That option would make things a lot easier for me andprobably for most users. Laurie Nelson On 4/2/2016 11:03 AM, nancy wright via wrote: > This is great. Thanks Jerry.
