Is there something I should know about printing a succession of individual reports to file? I selected 12 individuals and have spent the last 4 hours trying to print them to file so I can cut'n'paste notes from where I put them to where I want them. I was on-line and in a hurry, and after a bit decided it would be faster to figure out WHICH of 7 men of the same name a specific paragraph meant after I disconnected, so I put everything into the NOTES I had open at that time. These were two to four liners and copying the source info and then the 2 to 4 lines, save, save, find, open, etc etc was taking a while. Now, I've got a couple full pages of notes in X and more than half of it belongs to a,b,c,d, and e. I print to file, it saves an rtf file, but nothing can open the file. Doing an open and repair gets me machine code; doing a retrieve text gets me massive amounts of obscure code that makes JAVA look intelligble. Error message says the I've been denied permission or I'm out of disc space. Both are unlikely, unless PAF has suddenly started doing something squirrley. Cheryl
