If you are typing in any Legacy notes you need to use CTRL+Tab to enter a tab space. If you have the data in a table, you need to change it to text with tabs separating the columns in order to include it in notes and be able to print it in Legacy reports. You may need to add more tabs to get it to line up. I've found that sometimes I need to add some spaces as well, especially if there is a big difference in the length of the information in one "column". However it works pretty well - though not perfectly - provided you're not using too many different fonts. As Ron says, you can attach as an attachment - but then the information doesn't print in a report.
