If the details pertain to an individual, you can always add them as notes (General, Event/Fact, etc.) to that person. If the details are general in nature, you can add a "special text entry" or a "placeholder". The "special text entry" doesn't allow much formatting. A "placeholder" allows you to create an empty space in the book (skips a specified number of pages) for you to insert anything you like. The problem with this is that the insert might have a different "look and feel" than the rest of the Legacy generated book. The problem with each of these approaches is that you can't insert them in the middle of a chapter. Each constitutes a chapter of it's own. Like I said, Legacy might be good enough for a privately published book that you intend to give out to family members. Anything more than that and you'll probably want to use a word processor. Anyway, that's my $0.02. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
