Brian, yes - you have properly considered what I wrote and in essence what you have said is true, providing that all "reports" have that facility (wherever they appear on the numerous menus). Indeed, I am referring predominantly to living individuals (usually, my concern results from where I have forgotten to make them private on adding the individual). Living individuals within my data collection are essential to my understanding and to linkages. But I don't want them always reported. But, to date, I don't export subsets of my data (as GEDCOM, etc) to send to others. I restrict my interchange to PDF files.

Those options are available from the various reports and do not require the person to be private. Start any report Click the Privacy Options button on the right of the report screen Make your selections on what you want for living people a. Exclude totally b. Suppress details (birth, death and any events, notes etc.) so only their name is included. There is a sub option here to change the name to living so even the name is suppressed. c. There are other options for deceased spouses and children of living people as well.
