James, Please do not think of the report functions of Legacy as being a Publishing or Word Processing programs, they are not. They are quite good at being what they are, functions which enable one to produce reasonable reports from the data contained from within the database.
To produce book quality pages, or to insert pages such as you suggest then something like WORD or OpenOffice.org is required. Legacy is good at what it does, and as I have said many times on this list, I would not wish it to have a fully fledged word processor, any more than I would wish to to have a webpage editor/designer. They are for the specialist programs and not for a genealogy program. It is a matter of horses for courses, in my view.
