Joshua,
Elizabeth is correct. If you use the Publishing Center (A Deluxe only
feature) in Legacy 6 or 7 you can have an Introduction to the Report
which can be anything you want. The Introduction will then be part of
the Report PDF file so it cannot get lost or forgotten.
To enter the Introduction:
Reports > Publishing Center
Click on the Additional Tab
You will see the Introduction there. It will print after the Table of
Contents. The other items on that tab will precede the Table of Contents.
If you use the File > Load or File Open menu item on the Introduction
Screen you can read in a text or .rtf file so you can keep your list of
things that you are unsure of in a file and read that into the
introduction as required. You could even have separate files for each of
your ancestral lines etc.

I often print out Descendants Reports (PDF format, under "Reports ->
Books/Other") which I then email to the living descendants of the person, to check for
mistakes and also prod these guys to tell me things I don't already know. Usually works
great. However, these reports are never perfect or complete. (No genealogy is, and I'm
often sending these out because I know or suspect problems!)
So anyway, it is important for me to put in notes so that I don't enrage relatives. Things like "I know I'm missing all of Dorrie's step-children", or "I haven't yet entered all the information of Rolf's family tree" or "I'm not sure about the spelling of Great-Gran Pat's last name" or whatever it is. Right now, I put that stuff in email that has the PDF attached. But often it is lost or ignored. (People forward the PDF on to others without including my email, or the print out the PDF and review it long after forgetting what was in the email, or something.)
I'd really like to put that information on the title page of the report, but I
don't see how I can put in a paragraph or three of text on that page. Does
anyone know of a way to do this? Is that a reasonable feature for a future
release of Legacy?
