+====H. NARRATIVE REPORT CARD OPTIONS====
+The **Narrative Report Card** is now available, which formats printed report card to flow more narratively where comments show below the classes and grades table. Some new options related to the narrative report card are also now available:
+  * **Option #35 - Added "Header Text"**: It's like the footer text, but shows just below the header on the first page of a printed report card
+  * **Option #39-1: Checkbox for "Enable Narrative Printed Report Card"**
+    * Formats the printed report card to flow more narratively
+    * Class comments will now show below the classes and grades table. This is better suited for longer comments.
+    * Student and teacher names also appear as full first name followed by last name.
+    * Most RC Type options still apply to the narrative printed report card. If rubrics are enabled, rubrics remain the same and will still show in a table.
+  * **#39-2: Checkbox for "Use a table for class comments"**: This will be more compact and save significant space, but may appear less narrative
+  * **#40: Use Minimalist Tables**: On the printed report card for tables: Removes background color, most borders, and justifies text to the left.
+  * **#41: Use Compact Header**: Addresses are not supported inside compact header, but you can still use #37 Tri-Fold Format
