Very interesting thread (and not what I thought it would be based on the "Subject" line).
I don't think the "file" or "page" or "set of introductory notes" does not have to be IN the database... IF it is backed up WITH the database. If you follow Leo's instructions below, BUT save the file in a folder UNDER the Legacy folder, would it not also be backed up? Like, the Pictures folder? Or am I just wishfully thinking? Still, as a retired programmer, I'm not sure I would add a dataset out there for once-per-database use.

I would suggest starting a word document, list everything you wish to include, wording it to suit your desired outcome. Name your document and save it in C:\Legacy. Now as you locate new information and wish to include it all you need to do is edit the stored document. When you wish to create a book report with this document information included just go to the Start Button on your computer click My Computer>C:\Legacy>folder (where you stored the document) highlight the stored text, click copy. Go to the Individual that you wish to be the starting person in the report. Click Reports>Publishing Centre>Special Text Entry>Add>Enter a Title, in the box below the title paste the document data>save. Select the type of report you want in the book, (I selected Descendant report)>Add. Make sure that the Special Text Entry is at the top of the list. Now click View before you print and see if this is what you want. This will create a few extra steps but until Legacy adds a new feature to its program this may help.
