Yes, that's another question I have: how often do people use the override? It's not my first choice if I can help it, but I find myself increasingly being more of a stickler on my citation format, which leads to using overrides when no template is quite sufficient. And that begs the question of why I'm using the existing SourceWriter templates to bein with. I think the answer is to be able to create my own template. Legacy support team, any plans to have custom SourceWriter templates in the product?
