I like doing exactly the same things that you wrote about. The chronological report is a great research tool, it is also a great way to publish information. Unfortunately, when information is repeated over and over in other reports, it looks tacky. The workaround that you mentioned is one that I haven't tried, thank you. I'm looking forward to getting V-6. I'm hoping that one of the new features will give us more control of what to input into the chronological report without given the redundancy of information in the other reports.
Thanks again for the suggested workaround.

It's a Deluxe feature. Some users will just put all that information in the Census Source so the whole amount of info doesn't have to be repeated as an Event - suffice to say the individual was on a census and the source shows the details. [Cafi Cohen] Hi Sherry -- I have tried what your suggestion, but then I do not get the census details in the individual chronology report, as shown in one of Geoff's videos. It makes a Really Neat (and helpful <G>) Chronology Report when you include the complete census transcription in the event notes for each individual. OTOH, repeating the same transcription over and over on a Family Group Sheet report is annoying. I would love to see the OPTION TO INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE EVENT NOTES ON EVERY REPORT for this reason. My work-around currently is to put nearly identical information in the Text of Source screen and the Event Notes for MANY of my sources. In formatting reports, I either exclude events and include sources (FGS's), or I exclude sources and include events (Chronologies). In some instances, I would love to be able to include sources AND include events WITHOUT notes. Am I correct in assuming that we cannot currently do this most of the time? What do others do? Comments from all welcome.
