What I intend to do is copy the people I want in the Report to a new family file and then use my Sources and Events/Fact to construct a brief info-history of each person in the General Notes field. Then I will print a Report (probably Descendant Narrative) just showing the individuals and their Notes, not including any Events/Facts or Sources. If necessary, I can take the Report into a wordprocessor and amend it, but I don't think that will be necessary. > > Is there a software program that I can enter my Legacy information into, > that works well with Legacy, and puts the reports into a more informal, > book type of output? A story or history kind of book? There may be, but I don't know of one. My method is a bit long-winded perhaps, but there won't be too many people involved and I will get exactly the right output for the relative I am doing it for. -- Jenny M Benson 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
