Subject: Formating of Web Links in Reports - Source Citation Report.
Situation: I've been using the "double angle brackets" « » and html coding in my Master Sources and Source Details to have generated web page reports and pdf reports (when viewed with Acrobat 7) with "clickable" web links.
Problem: The issue is the difference in outputs:
A. - Output OK - Individual reports, web pages, etc. All appear as expected - they show normal clickable web links.
B. - Output Not OK -The Source Citations report. The output for the Source Citations report leaves, as viewable, all the html coding including double angle brackets etc - in - the final output and makes for difficult "readabillity." [Note: This, as far as I know, has always been this way, not just recently.]
Examples: Actual examples from my Legacy Database listed below: [Note: The line breaks at about 80 characters are caused by the limitations of email, please ignore]

Request: Can the output for the Source Citations report be cleaned up, re: html coding for web links, for readability and well as function? Pretty please??
Thankyou, Dan Bateham
