Elizabeth, You have not actually said which Legacy reports you are using, nevertheless I cannot understand why you are copy/pasting rtf files.
I think *all* Legacy narrative reports have the option to save in the .rtf format so their is no need to copy/paste, and I emphasise that you really do need a word processor to make a decent fist of the job.

They have shared their memories, helped transcribe, helped with research and more. We all want to have a very detailed book that can be enjoyed for generations to come. This is the reason I am trying so hard to figure out a good way to do it. I haven't found a way to do it in Legacy so I have been copying/pasting information into a .rtf file but it doubles the 'handling' time of the information (once to put it into Legacy for storage and then to copy/paste it). Maybe someone can help me with the issue of 'how/where' to add the information about the branches of our tree that are not in our direct line........ Do I make separate chapters for each of those surnames? Do I add them as 'extra' chapters in the spot where that surname comes up in the book? Or is it best to add them at the back of the book?....??? I'm really in a muddle about all of this and would appreciate ideas from anyone who has produced a family tree as a book.
