Phil, can you explain how changing an event sentence changes the way a
source is formatted?
Jenny, instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole (using the
source template that doesn't quite fit your wanted source formatting), why
don't you just use the basic source method for any specific source for which
the Source Writer is inappropriate? This, by the way, is not my poking at
the Source Writer. I'm actually a little more curious if this is one of
those sources where neither will quite fit the bill and wondering if there
is "another way to skin the cat."

Why use 'sentence override' every time you use a source?
Change the Event Sentence itself!!
If you click on an event for any individual and select edit you will to
taken to the event screen. At the bottom is an option to 'edit event
sentence definition'. Click on it.
You will be taken to a new screen that allows you to enter what you want
If, for example you are referencing a census event the default phrasing if
all fields are filled is "[HeShe] appeared on the [Desc] census [onDate]
[inPlace] [Source] [Notes]"
Change the sentence to one that suits you, adding fields from the list at
the bottom, and you will have a event description to suit you every time
you
use that event
Remember to change the other sentences underneath if you do not have all
the
fields filled in
Regards
Phil
