Thanks,

As noted by another member of this thread, the process takes time to accomplish. The results, however, are worth the effort! For that matter, you can even add custom fields to sources that you can use (and) keep hidden in reports!
Over the course of using Reunion for more than ten years now, I spent well over 200 hours of my time tweaking the source fields to meet my needs ¬– mostly in preparation for professional publication. I have since successfully published that book and am very happy with the results.
Anyone interested in having a copy of my Excel sheet of source fields may email me off-list at: <apalmer6 AT Verizon.net>.

Originally posted by Lynda View PostI have edited most of the source templates in Reunion, not just free form, to align with EE as much as I can.

Now that each template has the fields I want in the order I want, creating new citations is very easy.
I'd appreciate it very much, if you would be willing to share your source templates.

I'm proposing a different question.
I'm familiar with "Evidence!" (1997) and have long been using her first edition of "Evidence Explained" (2007). Both Legacy Family Tree (Windows) and Family Tree Maker (Windows) have made attempts to create source citation templates/systems based on Mills' recommendations.
I've purchased "Evidence Explained" (3rd ed.) to work from as I convert over to Reunion 11. I'm expecting to use Reunion's "free form" source format so that I can word things as closely to EE as possible. (I am opting for a formal approach with an eye to publishing.)
Question: Does anyone else have experience/suggestions for using Mills' third-edition approach with Reunion?
