Family Group Sheet with Sources hangs

[dixieau]

I'm trying to print a family group sheet for a couple (not the entire database) with sources included, but it keeps hanging.

I've selected the couple
Format: Normal
Include: Sources
Layout: Default
Destination: Printer

Okay, I've played around and it actually completes if I choose anything other than printer, however, it prints ALL my sources not the family selected sources. What am I missing please?

I am having a similar problem with a family whose father has extensive miscellaneous notes. If I truncate the notes, there's no problem sending the report to the printer. If I leave the notes in, even though I have apparently not exceeded the character limit for a notes field, it hangs forever on "formatting pages." Like you, I have no problem printing with my word processor.

The fact that your problem seems to be sources makes me wonder if I have a buggy source citation toward the end of this long notes field.

Printing familysheet with extreme amount of notes and sources (56 pages): no problems at all.
When you 'print' as PDF, you experience the same problems ?
Might be an invisible character is present in notes that causes problems ?
In most word processor you can see also invisible characters

As long as I print via the word processor, as PDF or not, there's no problem. But I prefer the formatting in "destination: printer." I finally set up a second notes field and moved half of the notes there. That took care of the problem. Thanks for your suggestion, though.
