Including Notes in Register Report

[Richard Platt]

In putting together a Register Report, I'm aware that the contents of the Memo fields can be used to document different events. I would also like to include general notes in the "Note" field -- such things as "Pioneer settler of Milford, CT in 1639; member of train band 1645-1664; removed to Huntington, NY in 1664." Can this be included automatically, or must I cut and paste?

In putting together a Register Report…I would also like to include general notes in the "Note" fieldAll you need to do is to define a report Layout that—for each of the "Person Fields", "Spouse Fields", and "Family Fields" Settings—has the applicable Note field(s) enabled (checked) in the right column.

As we discussed just now on the telephone, by default, it's the "Misc. Notes" field which appears on the Family Card as (just) "Note" because that field is defined (in Options->Define->Person Fields->Notes) with an abbreviation of (just) "Note".
