Jumping in here. <G> Frank, not sure exactly what you want, but this
might be a case for a language for a certain KIND of report, like Terry
and I discussed last week. The easiest way would be create your
language for the journal reports, and then copy that language to a new
language for the Chart type reports and then just change the sentence
structures for the tags to use your symbols. Then if you wanted to say
use German in a Journal report, you would use your German language, and
when you wanted German, but with symbols, you would use your custom
GERMAN-symbols language. Am I helping any or am I confusing you more?
