Hi Cathy, Thanks so much for the tips. I created a separate file that includes all the individuals needs so that I could put detailed medical information in the note section. I didn't want to include this in my main file for privacy reasons. Even with the privacy settings available in my main file, this report will contain details I'm reluctant to keep in my main file.
You gave me some good ideas to explore. I didn't know about the option to add text boxes with Legacy Charting. I will play around with the different options you describe and see what works best. Thanks again!
