Cathy: I was going to mention PDF, but you said you can't change it to OCR. Adobe Acrobat (not the PDF Reader) has OCR capabilities within the program, but usually only for images that contain text. Sending a Legacy report to PDF should be all text anyway so no OCR needed for that and should retain all fonts. I don't know about PDF knockoff programs. I know Acrobat is a bit pricey though.
The only other alternative is to use a word processor. If you don't have one, you can always download OpenOffice.org which is free and a full suite of office programs. Then to retain any special fonts and formatting, you can export it to PDF. I've found one of the best programs to have for genealogy is the full version of Acrobat because you can scan everything into PDFs and attach them to sources in Legacy. I don't really understand the reasoning for moving the notes section to the top. You mention it contains graphics. Are these source graphics? Are the notes Footnotes/Endnotes? Are you trying to make the report accessible by others so they can make their own changes?

I tried .txt but that loses the pictures and the bold headlines and text (I know I can manually add the photos and change each headline and other text to bold but that's very time consuming for how many families I have). I tried .pdf but it can't be changed to OCR which is required for me to move the Notes section to the beginning of the report (I assume because there's pictures which are graphics?). I tried .html but I can't move the Notes section. If I copy it to the clipboard, it's a graphic of the report and I can't move the Notes section. I tried sending the Descendant and Descendant Narrative reports to .rtf but they do not contain the event pictures. If there's no way to do it, I'll use the Descendant Narrative in .rtf because it's the least changes but it doesn't look as nice as the Family Group Report. Thanks.
