The window that comes up when running a single fund statement from the fund module, is actually the Create Individual Documents in Word from a Mail Merge process which can also be accessed in Reports > Create Individual Word Documents.
Create Individual Documents in Word from a Mail Merge process
This feature was released in FIMS 14.73, see page 5 of the 14.73 Release Notes:
NOTE: To simply display a single fund statement, do not choose any options under destination or file type and just click Auto Launch Only.
If you want to run the features in this new window on that single fund statement, here are the options and what each option does:
Destination:
Choose the location to which to create each individual document. The built in macro that you choose here in the list will run and will save an individual document to a fund or profile or in the case of fund statements to the eadvisor\statements folder if chosen.

To the right of each destination, you will see the name of the macro that is being run. These same macros can be run in Microsoft Word as well.
File Type:
You can choose to create an individual Word or PDF document. Each individual Word or PDF document will be saved in the location that you choose under Destination.
Report options:
