Thanks Cathy and everyone else. I believe I now have all the information I
need. I have collapsed several Baptism sources (all at the same church) into
one Baptism source and entered the appropriate source detail for each. I'll
try the obituaries next.

Hi Tom,
A Master Source (Obituary in Newspaper x}with particular source detail re
a particular person
Joe Bloggs, 20 Oct 1909, page x, column y
with or without the actual obituary in the Source Detail text (which you
can choose to have print with the source citation or not print and just be
there for your convenience)
can be added to as many events or people as relevant.
Provided you make no changes at all to the source detail (and the best way
to ensure this is to use the Source Clipboard), that Source with that
particular source detail will only print once in a report, even if you've
used it 20 times.
The Master Source with different source detail will print again if you
also have an obituary in the same newspaper for Mary Bloggs.
You can get a list of people who use a particular Master Source by going
to the Master Source list and highlighting the source and clicking "Show
List"
You can't (currently/easily) get a list of those who use a particular
Master Source with the same source detail since we can't search on Source
Detail.

Thanks Nancy and Ron.
With both your solutions, am I correct in assuming that the Master Source
would not identify the deceased or any other person who record uses that
source? Also, as most of my families have been local for centuries, there
have been hundreds of obituaries in the local newspaper over the years.
Wouldn't it get rather cluttered if the date and page number of each of
hundreds of obituaries were listed in the source detail?
I do place the entire text of each obituary in the general notes section
of the deceased, making sure that I also include the date of publication
as well as the name of the newspaper.
My main concern is how to handle the situation where my source for a piece
of information about an individual other than the deceased comes from an
obituary.
Thanks,
Tom Herson
