If you’d like to have a look at a ‘book’ I’ve generate from Legacy go to http://www.branchesandtwigs.wikispace.com Scroll down the left hand side until you get to a link to Descendants of Thomas SULLIVAN. Click on that, then click on the link to Descendants of Thomas SULLIVAN.pdf. That will take you to a report I generated in Legacy. I quite like the pdf output from Legacy - I guess the only drawbacks are that all of the images are in a line down the right hand side, and some of the images are too small to read the text. Legacy doesn’t print other ‘media’ files attached to your report, for example pdf files. You would have to print and add them separately for your book. I haven’t used the publishing centre in Legacy, but I believe you can add place-holder pages which keep page numbering intact and you can replace the ‘blank pages with your pdf files. Another drawback is that in the case of ‘blended’ families, which I like to include because I am more a family historian than a true genealogist, people who are included in two (or dare I say more) marriages have all of their information printed twice (or more) even if you have selected to not include duplicate lines. As I don’t have a pdf creator program I can’t edit my Legacy generated pdf’s and remove the surplus entries. I tried using rtf format, but found that removing great chunks of text messed up pagination and image placement among other things so I have opted for pdf and leave the duplicate info. Because I publish as a wiki rather than an actual book I am able to add extra photos, pdfs etc. to my wiki site.

I liked the interspersing of images with text since I think the average person not into family history might find that more interesting. I would make changes, but it added to my ideas for presenting a "book." I'm not sure how legacy prints out the media files with reports because I am far from learning that as yet.
