Pat, are you referring to the list of sources, for instance, when you select a check mark for sources attached to a person or a fact? Are you marking the quality so that it appears in the list? If you do that it will show the ones that are primary vs secondary or derivatives, etc. In reports, they appear in the order of the footnote numbers.

I don't tend to look at them by clicking on the checkmark. I got into the habit of clicking the source button on the bottom right of the edit person screen instead. Guess it really is the same 'list of sources' but they are seen completely there. Tom, I agree, going through and memorize/cut/paste all of them would WORK, but that is exactly what that would be A LOT OF WORK! It's not that critical and that method would certainly create opportunities for me to create an entirely new problem!!!! The other thing I do miss from TMG was the ability to 'rank' as source best, very good, good, fair, poor by selecting a number. Haven't done it yet, but am thinking about putting something into my source or source title to force that ability such as TITLE OF EXCELLENT SOURCE [1] because it's the highest ranked source or a TITLE OF POOR SOURCE [5] because although I took the data it's not what I'd call a good or even very good source and I want to continue to search for a better source! I have so many different areas where I'm trying to 'clean up' my data this may take a back seat! Thanks for all your input!!!! Never know if I can't do something or just have not yet figured out how!
