Hi Kurt! Thank you for your kind response, but the problem is that it is still printing the private text in brackets. Even if I have the option turned off to print private text, it still shows up.

This lets you have a mix of normal and private info in the same field. There are options to include the private info in reports when you want it. -----Original Message----- From: magnoliasouth [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2014 8:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Private/Hidden source notes I want to put the source text into the source text. Some of this gets quite long. I want it there for my personal reasons. I don't necessarily want it on regular reports. However, I like to periodically run a pdf master source report with everything in there, so that if I'm looking for something in particular, I can do a text search and find it. Notes included. I just upgraded from Legacy 6 to Legacy 8. I'm a little confused here on how to do this because there is a conflict. Consider these two options. 1. I can check off in the Master Source itself to EITHER include on reports, or not. 2. I can go to the Source Citation Report and select citation text and comments as well as source citation text and comments. The problem is that if I don't include it in reports under option 1, then it doesn't matter if I have option 2 selected or not. It will NOT print. If I do include it in reports under option 1 and then do NOT include it under option 2, then it STILL prints. In other words, what is the point of Option 2? It clearly doesn't matter what you put in option 2 because it only follows option 1. This makes me angry. I need to be able to very easily see all of it, or none of it. I should not have to go through and make changes to each and every source that I have ever had in my life. Can someone tell me how to do this? I am very frustrated right now. I need to be able to have the option to hide source text and comments, but then print them if need be. How do I do this without going through each and every source? Have I found a bug? I sure hope so!
