Teresa,
This is a challenge using Legacy, but think about these ideas, at least it would
all be in one book.
In the Books / Other, publishing center under the Contents Tab
Add your Descendant Narrative CHAPTER
Next add a Picture Scrapbook CHAPTER (at the bottom of the list.
Although this isn't what you really want perhaps you can make do with this
method.
Also a way to insert a custom chapter is as follows: A little more difficult
thing to think about is the Place Holder CHAPTER. You reserve a set number of
blank pages which can be replaced with something of your choice (photo album?).
But to do this you will have to be creative about producing a PDF file to send
to a publisher like Lulu.com. I have used a free PDF file creator (PDFcreator)
which replaces a printer device, from: http://www.pdfforge.org
It will let you combine multiple documents into one PDF. For example using the
publishing center preview the entire document, Title, TOC, Descendant chapter,
PLACE HOLDER CHAPTER, additional chapters and index. Next in the upper right
side of the preview window under Print: select the Range button. Enter the page
number range from the start of the book to the last page before the place holder
chapter and print a PDF using PDFcreator. Repeat this for the range following
the end of the place holder chapter to the end of the book including the index.
Create a PDF chapter of your choice to replace the place holder chapter. Now
using PDFcreator merge the three PDF files into one file. If you need to create
a Acrobat 4.0 (PDF 1.3) file for Lulu, email me off list and I can send you
setup info for PDF creator to do that.
