Notes is not an IPTC field either. I've experimented with this over several years and what you get is what you've already discovered. IPTC Caption imports into the Legacy 'Description' field.
Since you mention that printing from Legacy doesn't suit you, my suggestion would be to stick with software that uses IPTC properly and use its print options instead. ----- JL http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/tag/iptc On 7/1/2010 11:10 AM, Susan Broadbooks wrote: > Thanks for the reply.
