Carolyn, Master Location notes actually can be printed. If you create a location index in reports there is an option to include the location notes in that index. They can also be included in the Location Report. That said, I only use the location notes field for things like directions to cemeteries or a family property or to indicate that the map pinpoint is an approximate location. If I have information about a location that I want included as part of a person's story, I do as Ron does and put them in event notes as I subscribe to the same policy of using the tools available to get the result I want regardless of how they were intended.
