Expanding Race/Trait contents?

Is there a way to get GCA to expand the contents of templates?

I have a casual player who is running a DF dwarf. His GCA sheet says "Dwarf 20 points" but he doesn't know that that means. I'd like to have the contents of that package displayed somewhere but I don't know how.

Is there a way to do that or am I going to have to write it on the printed-out character sheet or something like that?

Which sheet are you using, the standard SJG one?

You can definitely do it with Phoenix, and in the UI itself you can go to the templates tab, right click, components from the speed menu and pick Show Components, but that doesn't change the print out.

Let me check the standard one... I've got an interviewee shortly so I may not be back for an hour and a bit.

EDIT: So I've got a moment. If you're using the default:
Go to Tools, Character Sheet Options, and make sure the drop down is set to Charactersheet.gcs
Under Template and Meta-Trait Item Options, set the first to Yes, and the second to Yes or No as you prefer ;)
