To get back to the original point (at least I hope I'm right that these comments may be helpful), I find that the only way to include all the sometimes rather distant descendants of interesting ancestors is to use the 'multiple lines of descent' report. To help with creating this, I title the 'head

You are correct. I was overwhelmed by the multitude of different reports available and focussed on the sentence structure problems. But looking further into the reports they are actually quite nice. Thank you all for your thoughts. Jeff Janis L Gilmore wrote: I do think that reports make n

I do think that reports make nice addendum to hand-crafted narratives. More or less as a reference that enables the reader to quickly look up a birth or death date, etc. Janis Walker Gilmore On 8/15/08 2:36 PM, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > product, though they might suppleme

I haven't learned how to do sentences in Legacy which would probably help the readability of book reports. It's pretty dry and choppy otherwise. In any case, I'm doing somewhat similar to this person in writing my own narratives for publication but using a wiki, and only using charts for addi

I am curious as to which Legacy "narrative/book" reports are most used as generated by Legacy or found to be most useable by experienced Legacy users. Do any users print these narratives as created, or are these raw reports usually transferred to a word processor where they are extensively re-ed
