Since I don't use Generations, I'm not sure what you're wanting to do,
but one of these could suit:

1. the BOOK report. Click File/Print Reports/Book look carefully at
*ALL* the options. If you want everything that's in the notes, UN-tic
the "marked notes only" box because ticking it gets you only the notes
you've tagged with a ! or some other character.

2. The Individual Summary. Click File/Print Reports/Individual Summary
Again, un-tic the "marked notes only" box.

3. Family Group Sheet -- Click File/Print Reports/Family Group and
once more UN-tic the "marked notes only".
