I usually put the relationship in the Source Detail Comments box when
it's an item covering several people, such as Birth Certificates, Death
Certificates, obits, etc. Assuming Version 7 does not re-arrange the
screen view (and I've heard it does but I don't know how) I'm able to
see the Source Detail Text and Comments next to each other. I've also
used it for X's household and relationship for census records although I
think that would be better in Event Notes. I'm waiting for the ability
to search Source Detail Text and Comments before I change that.

Hi Dick,
One suggestion would be to include in the "Detail" the name of the
individual to whom the certificate applies. The reason I do that is
because this certificate will probably be attached to several facts;
date of birth, name and age of parents, etc. Later on when you find
this source attached to one of the parents, you won't have to go
digging to find just which of their children (or someone else) did it
come from. It will be right on the report in front of you.

use a birth certificate as an example.
Source List name is - Virginia Department of Health, Bureau of Vital
Records
and Health Statistics
Author is - Virginia Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Records and
Health Statistics
Title is - Certificate of Live Birth
Publication facts is - Richmond, Virginia Department of Health,
Bureau of
Vital Records and Health Statistics, 1975.
Detail is - Certificate of Live Birth No. No. 99999999-99
Thus the entry appears as " Virginia. Department of Health, Bureau of

birth certificate 145-70-009333 (1975)."
