Thanks, Jenny. You are entirely correct in what I was asking about I a text section that is a permanent part of the family file. Consider it akin to the "Preface" of a book. I hesitate to use the word book here because it may lead to the idea of the Book Report presented by Ron Ferguson which as you stated is really a one-time report without the capability of the text being entered on those blank pages to be stored as part of the family file.
And I'm curious --- you said it has been discussed here before. I've been hanging out for several years and I guess I missed it. I assume that the final resolution is that it remains on the wish list. And my non-scientific, limited programming experienced brain tells me that the programmers would have difficulty in creating a note in a database without being assigned to a specific record or user ID. But wait a minute, don't they do that now with the compiler information? Or is that info being pulled in from a small .txt or .usr file? Maybe that text size allocation of the compiler's notes needs to be greatly enlarged. Seems simple enough and that seems to be a logical location for such info. Oh well. I wonder if other programs allow for such prefaced text in the database?

But that information still has to be stored (or created) somewhere and what Brian's friend was looking for was somewhere *within Legacy* to create and store general Notes relating to the entire file. This - the lack of such and the wish for it - has been discussed here before. I don't know whether something could be done with creating an unattached "person" and putting the information in the General Notes field of that record. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
