Hi Folks, This is my first posting, so be kind with your responses. I produce personalised family history books for a living, and to get the best results you need to use more than just Legacy or Word to get a decent finished book (a printed hard copy that is). You can manage (just) using Legacy and PDF creation software such as Acrobat (Nitro is much cheaper to buy for individuals). Myself, I use Legacy to create the usual ancestral/descendant book report and import it into Quark Express (not a low cost product - but there are good DTP programs that will do similar). This is a link to the relevant page on my website (I am not plugging or advertising it - I'm based in Scotland) http://www.familytreebooksandcharts.com/products/family-tree-books/ - but I hope it will give you some fresh ideas for your next family blockbuster. Look at the demo video clip and/or the example content PDF, there is the odd glitch in the PDF although you'll get the idea. The names in the PDF are fictitious, but it won't take rocket science to figure out that it's based on my own family. The montages are created by a simple piece of software from Microsoft.
Cheerio, from Les Bonnie Scotland -----Original Message----- From: Mark Lang Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2011 6:25 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Best practice for adding scans/PDFs of source documents Sherry, Robert, It doesn't matter (when using Word anyway) when you create the Index in Word. I do this all the time with the books I create (The Legacy Family), especially my new book (The Legacy Handbook). Yes Word pushes things about, but if you've already included an Index, when you add to your book, simply navigate to the index and right-click any item (it doesn't matter which one) and select the option to Update Field. Easy.
