Is there a way to duplicate one huge source from one family file into another family file? I don't want to merge the two family files, I simply do not want to be forced to manually copy the whole thing in order to use it in the second family file.

Then Export a Reunion Family file for only that person, and include sources
Import that 1 person/1 source Reunion family file into your other family file
Then delete that 1 fictional person
The source should stay behind - to make sure, link the source to someone else before you delete the fictional person.

I, for one, would, please, like to see a screen shot of a source description that is so huge that it is overly laborious to duplicate in another file. The only way that would be, in my mind, is if it used so many fields to describe the source itself (I'm thinking, 10 - 50 fields) that even cutting and pasting would take more than a few minutes. If that is the case, does any source need that many fields of description? I don't think I've ever used more then 7 or 8 fields.
(I am distinguishing between the source description that you enter into Reunion that forms the citation that is applied to person record(s), as opposed to the source itself, (like the file of a book or newspaper) that contains the information about the person/people.)
