Like I said in my earlier note the Publishing Center, once it's
working properly, allows you to build a book that contains a number
of chapters. Each chapter is a report in its own right. For example,
the book I have put together manually is my daughter's (and her four
cousins') ancestors. Chapters included ...
1. A one page report manually combining a descendent report of
a. my wife and I (my daughter)
b. my sister and her husband (cousins 1 and 2)
c. my wife's brother and his wife (cousins 3 and 4)
2. Ancestor book report for my father (french descent)
3. Ancestor book report for my mother (french descent)
4. Ancestor book report for my father in law (dutch descent)
5. Ancestor book report for my mother in law (dutch descent)
6. Ancestor book report for my sister's father in law (french descent)
7. Ancestor book report for my wife's brother's mother in law (french descent)
... and a number of other chapters including scrapbooks, timelines,
relationship reports and Word documents. Since the whole thing added
up to 1200 pages. So I split it into three logical books.
The intent of the Publishing Center is that all of the Legacy
components can be joined together within one book with placeholders
for other items such as my Word documents.
The Book would begin with a cover page, then a Table of Contents for
all of the above Chapters, an Introduction and then all the Chapters
each with it's Title page (or not) and then, at the end, a single
index for all the reports.
Like I said before, there are a number of issues in the Publishing
Center that need to be fixed before this works correctly. In fact,
there are so many issues with the Publishing Center that it is
currently useless. I do hope it is high on the staffpriority list to
fix this before adding new features.

Hey, you're right! When I create a normal Ancestor Book in Rich
Text, the TOC comes after the title page - all is in perfect order.
Except there is no Introduction, and that's why I had decided to try
Publishing Center, which has "Introducion" as an Additonal Content.
That seemed neat: everything I wanted in one file. However, as I've
already indicated, that has problems.
So what I'll do is create my introduction in a seperate Word file
and stuff into my book later on.
Which leaves me wondering: what, then, is the puprose of Publishing
Center - at least for Ancestor Book reports?

While there are a number of issues with Publishing Center, it is
intended for combining a number of reports into one Book. If all you
want is a single Ancestor Book Report, simply select that from the
Reports menu, not the Publishing Center.

course I could fix this on the word processor, but somehow it seems that
I shouldn't have to; that there's a way to correct this order right at
the source. But I can't find it. Any suggestions are most welcome?
