And if the Legacy 6 Publishing Center works as I hope it will (similar to
FTM books), this will be a snap to do ...

The reason you haven't seen this type of report before is probably because
it doesn't exist although I must admit that such a report would be
friendlier for non-genealogy hoobyists. The Legacy book reports are
industry standards.
That being said, you can do it by generating a separate report for each
child as you suggested. And you can have the index work properly. I have
done this for a huge set of books I did last year for for my parents and
my wife's parents on their 50th anniversaries.
Here's how, using a small family ...
1. With the father, do the Descendant Narrative report with 2 generations
(mom, dad and the kids). In the report Options-Footer, set page numbers
starting at page 1.
I get the cover page, data on pages 1 to 3, the Contents and then the Name
Index on pages 4-5.
2. With the first child of the father, do the Descendant Narrative report
with as many generations as you'd like. In report Options-Footer, set page
numbers starting at page 7 (previous Name Index last page was 5, page 6
will be this new cover).
I get the cover page, data on pages 7 to 8, the Contents and then the Name
Index on pages 9-10.
2. With the next child of the father, do the Descendant Narrative report
with as many generations as you'd like. In report Options-Footer, set page
numbers starting at page 12 (previous Name Index last page was 10, page 11
will be this new cover).
I get the cover page, data on pages 12 to 16, the Contents and then the
Name Index on pages 17-19.
etc ...
In Word, create a Contents page to replace the father's contents page and
lay-out the chapters for each child with the unprinted numbers of the
various Covers.

Thanks, Cathy, for the information. I checked it but it still isn't what
I'm wanting, and don't know how to do it.
I'd like a chapter for each of the nine children of Elbert Autrey with a
Table of Contents showing the nine children as each chapter and the index
for the complete book. I would also like the children numbered within the
generation as it's so much easier to keep track of the order given.
It looks like it can't be printed the way I want it using Legacy. However,
I do like all their reports. I could print individual Descendant Narrative
report for each child and create my own Table of Contents, but the index
wouldn't work. Each chapter would have it's own index.....and I've never
seen a book like this one would be:)
Surely there has to be a simpler way using Legacy.....
