Forgive me if this sounds like rediscovering the wheel. I am an amateur preparing our own family histories, and am suddenly quite upbeat about a way that I have stumbled on to create reader-friendly books for our relatives. My current task is to collect individual Pdf printed reports into a book o

Hi Leroy, I can't imagine producing a book based on Individual Reports - but each to their own. Are you collecting them all with the Publication Centre? There is the option to add other types of pages in that. I'm responding re your issue on the Chronology Report. You don't have to include th

I imported my GedCom from Family Tree Maker, and then wanted to experiment with a small ancestor book, using the RFT format. I only did about 4 generations, rather than the full 15, but have noticed that the text is a little 'off' - words that should be whole are appearing with a separation -

This is crazy, and clearly a lame question - I must have done it before, but I am going nuts trying to figure it out this morning. I have a family group: father, mother, and several children. All of the children were believed to have been born to the same mother. I have discovered that some of

I believe this involves unlinking first from the set of parents in which one parent is wrong and then relinking the child(ren) to the correct parents. On 1/20/07, Janis Gilmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This is crazy, and clearly a lame question - I must have done it before, but I am going nuts
