Debbie, I know that you are right that the citation below fulfills all the
requirements of a complete source, but I guess it kind of bugs me that the
user does not have a choice in the actual formatting of the citation. Maybe
this is something that can be considered by the programmers for the next
version.
In the mean time, I may bring this up on the APG list and see if anyone
there has additional thoughts.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Gail,
There is nothing wrong with having a format of:
Source Detail:
Cemetery, Town, County, State
Citation Detail:
John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y; photographed by [me], date
Output:
Cemetery, Town, County, State, John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y;
photographed by [me], date
This is the format I use. I only have 1 source per cemetery, and
everything
else goes into the citation. While this format is not exactly how Ms.
Mills
wrote about in her book _Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family
Historian_, it's close enough for me that I, or anyone else, can find this
tombstone again, which is the reason for a citation in the first place.
Regards,
Debbie Schnell Woolard

Is there a way to rearrange the order of the Source Citation output given
the following inputs:
Input fields used:
Source List Name: State, County, Town - Cemetery
Type: Cemetery
Author: [blank]
Title: Cemetery, Town, County, State
Publication: [blank]
Citation Detail: John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y, photographed by [me],
date
Output: Cemetery, Town, County, State, John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y,
photographed by [me], date
Here's how I would like it to read (using Mills' suggested citation format
in "Evidence"):
John Doe tombstone, block X, lot Y, Cemetery, Town, County, State;
photographed by [me], date
Note that the Citation Source is sandwiched in between the Citation
Detail.
I would prefer not to create a separate source for each stone. It's handy
to me for each cemetery, not each individual stone, to serve as a source.
Is there a way to get the output I want without having to rig the input
fields? What have others done who are trying to conform with the current
genealogical citation standards? I'd love some ideas!
