This kind of option has been touched on before - basically personal
preference.
I am normally a lumper. Obituaries go into Source Detail Text (if
transcribed) or Source Detail Multimedia. I don't expect to reproduce them for
everyone, unless there is something unusual, noteworthy, or
Well, I made a custom event for obituaries. There is general one
already, but mine allows me to include everything from an obit, pall

That is a good workable idea (most of Geoff¹s are). (-:
However, something in me rebels against the ³messiness² of throwing
something into general notes. I like to enter each piece of data into its

If one uses Events, can one still copy and paste interesting bits into that as
one can do with notes?
