At this point (I may be sorry because I know others do it differently) I list the Census as an event. I'm using just the Country/date/name of census as source, and the county etc. under the detail. Under the marriage, if it is the family, and under the individual if not married. I am saving the images in a directory that will make them easy to find, but haven't taken the time yet to attach them. I enter a full transcription for direct line ancestors. For events such as residence, occupation, immigration year, Alternte names, etc. I list the source and put just the line from the census that pertains to that - in the text place under detail.
I'm not following you when you talk about printing reports or finding individuals because I'm still entering data, cleaning up a lot of entries that were not done well when I first started. I do want to enter the information in a way that will make reports and searches easier when I need those features. I was happy that Ron said he is using just the country and year for his census source. Since most of my ancestry so far is in Ontario, then the USA, I would have a lot of sources if I went by county.
