The Book Reports in Legacy support several sections in the preface of the
report when you select the Publishing Center:
- Copyright Notice Page
- Dedication Page
- Preface Page
- Abbreviations Page
- Introduction Section
Click Reports>Publishing Centre; add the chapter items in the book under
the 'Contents' tab; enable and create the text for a Copyright Notice,
Dedication, Preface, Abbreviations, Introduction under the 'Additional'
tab. Samples are even provided for each by clicking on the 'Example'
button. You can't create a complicated page layout with tables and images
but it handles the text like other Legacy notes.
You can save the Book Report as a *.bkh file, so you won't have to
recreate the document layout with the preface material next time. For
some it may be desirable to store the preface text as part of the family
file but this way you could create multiple Descendancy Reports for
different family lines in one family file with different Dedications or
Introductions.
