Suggestion for Legacy - more notes sections.

I would put this under Suggestions if there was such a category. I am still using v.7.5 with no intention of upgrading so it's irrelevant for me but I still like the idea. Here it is: an additional tab in the Notes section (General/Research/Medical) for something called something like Scratch Pad. This would be a dumping ground for work in progress, never to be printed in reports but just for collecting.

How to create a source citation report for a specific focus group - help.

I am trying to create a source citation report for a specific focus group. Can someone walk me through creating a focus group and then tagging that group? I think I will then be able to print a source citation report for the tagged group. Or does someone have a better way to do that? Thanks.
