Duplicating sources across family files

[CAshbridge]

I have a number of different family files with which I work. Is there an easy way to duplicate a source template from one of the files to another. I have set up source citations to mirror those in Evidence Explained and would like to be able to copy them to each of my family files.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, there is. I've done this myself. Just get your source templates all set up as you want them in one file. Then, you are going to Export the family File as a Reunion Family File. Go to: File>Export>Reunion Family File. Choose: No People, No Sources, and No Multimedia. Then Export. You will get a blank file that has all your source templates as you set up and all your other customizations without the data and media. Then you can import another Family File or Gedcom into it as desired. Hope that helps.
