You can have the sentence read anyway you want and also have the source superscript if you alter the Sentence Definition.
The simple way would be to type whatever you want in the Sentence Override box, but you must insert the Field [Sources] at the end of your sentence to have sources attached to your Event. To do that, click the down arrow to the right of the box that reads, "[Name] - full name of individual." Scroll down to "[Sources] - the source citation references." Highlight it. [Sources] now appears in the box. Position your cursor where you want the source superscript to appear. Click Insert which is to the right of the box. Now your sentence has [Sources] at the end. If you want punctuation and/or a space after your sentence but before the source superscript, you must insert it manually. The other way: Highlight the Event Click on Edit When in Edit, click on Edit Event Sentence Definition When in Add/Edit an Event Definition, copy one of the Wording Options. I usually choose the If All Fields Filled option because it allows me the most leeway. Click Cancel to exit that screen. (not Save, in case you made some unintentional change the to the definition which would then affect ALL those events). Back in the Edit Event screen, paste the definition into the Sentence Override box. If the box next to the Refresh Sentence box is checked, you can see how maneuvering the Fields of the definition change how your sentence reads.

I am typing the info into the Sentence Override box as a complete sentence I create [sometimes a series of sentences]. I'm doing this because I find many of the "standard" event sentences to read very awkwardly [I'm a former magazine editor]. I see the "Edit Event Sentence Definition" box, but what do you mean by "copy the appropriate event definition", then "paste the Sentence Definition just copied"?

If so, the superscript source will not appear. To have the source superscript appear, go to Edit Event Sentence Definition and copy the appropriate event definition. Then Cancel out of Edit Event Definition. In the Sentence Overide box, paste the Sentence Definition you just copied. Now you can move the Event Names as you will and watch how it will read, either because you have checked the Refresh Sentence box, or by clicking Refresh Sentence box.

When I enter information under the "Notes" tab for an event [so that it follows the standard sentence], then the little number superscript appears with the event in a report [e.g. Individual or Descendant Narrative}, along with the source citation itself, but if I use the "Sentence Override" tab and put my information in there, and add a source to it, then the little number superscript doesn't appear, but the source citation itself [with an appropriate number] does appear. What am I doing wrong? I just started entering Event information, and I want to catch errors in my process right now, before I have to go back and redo hundreds [instead of dozens] of Event source citations.
