Ben, I am very interested in answers to your questions. Some of my sources
transferred nicely from UFT, but like you I have numerous abbreviations that
were I suppose Free Notes which have not transferred in good source form.
Fortunately I do not have but about 2700 individuals but the 800 sources of
which probably 700 need attention are daunting. I have been using source
number to get record of individual citations and gradually -oh - so
gradually clearing part of the mess. I am trying to use Mills format and
think making completely new sources may be the simpler approach long as I
have list of citations for the old source and can apply the new source
properly to individuals. Looking forward to answers. So far I do not see old
source numbers being used even though I have deleted a number. When job is
complete maybe sources could be renumbered?
