Eric,
I am somewhat new to Mathematica and want to thank you for your detailed (and excellent) response to my question. 
The code you provided formats my notebook’s printed output in the way that I was naively trying to achieve with the code I mentioned in my original post. Also, I didn’t realize that just by inserting a "string" in a notebook, will cause it to be printed in the output when a notebook is evaluated. This feature will be useful for debugging.
Thanks again,
Rich
