On April 15th I posted:
Mystery:
When the instruction card is printed along with the report card(s), it prints as expected; however its text is also superimposed over the text of the data card as well.

Well the mystery is solved, and the guilty party is moi. Perhaps someone can benefit from my mistake:
Always, always, always compact, compact, & compact a HyperCard stack before opening & saving it in Revolution.
Ah what a foole I am! Not only did I fail to compact the two stacks; but I actually opened one of the two in HC and deleted one card & four fields on another card before opening the stack in Revolution. Now there is a recipe for certain disaster: I don't want to think about how much time I've spent ghost hunting and scripting & testing workarounds to problems that were endemic to the stacks themselves.
Special thanks to Robert Brenstein for looking deeply into the code, suggesting improvements & alternatives, and acted as the sounding board I needed to root out my ghost.
