Susan,
After you save it as a pdf file, then save it as a text file from ADOBE to
your word processor, then you copy the text to a blank General Notes in
Legacy and do a WORDWRAP. Then you can copy it back to your word processor
and delete it from General Notes.
Nothing to it. <BG>

Lewis,
The only problem with going from PDF to Text is that each line has a
hard carriage return. So that is a lot of deleting, if you don't want
those in your text.
Dave,
I will give that a shot, thank you. I ended up using Microsoft Office
Document Image Writer (a "printer" set up when I installed Office),
but I then had to convert it to text using OCR, and that left a lot of
typos. I am happy to try your solution in the future.
Dennis, thanks for the heads up on version 6.

I am running Legacy Version 5 Deluxe on Windows XP. I wish to save my
sourced newspaper extracts (Citation Text) to a text file, and
attempted to use the Master Source Report to do this. But I can only
save it as a PDF file or print it to my default printer.
