Hi,
Thanks for the advise so far.
Paula, you're spot on in that I only want to disable spouse events for the 1st
generation. When I moved to Legacy a few years back the reviews suggested this
was one of the best packages for report generation and book publishing, however
now I'm trying to use it in anger I have to say I'm quite disappointed at its
capability and limitations such as this.
I've so far encountered numerous issues such as only one picture per event can
be displayed or no pictures are displayed for marriages, but bit by bit I'm
trying to find workarounds and at the moment this ones stumping me.
I'm not keen on generating pdfs or rtfs and then re-editing docs. after all
what's the point of the publishing center if thats what you have to resort to.
I also work as a software engineer and I'm used to using tools that generate
manuals from basic text and information in the code, so if we can do this for
the software industry I'd have though it could have been done in Legacy as well.

Paul, I see your point. It might make more sense to have it be two tick marks:
"Show Individual Events" and "Show Spouse Events"... followed by the "Show
Marriage Events". Of course, that would have to apply to all individuals and
their spouses in each generation of the report (programmatically logical),
whereas what you're wanting is to just drop them on the first generation
spouse, right? Perhaps Carolyn's suggestion is a better way to go. You could
then delete the first generation spouse's events.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Ancestor book report - spouse events
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone with any experience of producing ancestor book reports
may be able to offer some advise with a problem I have.
I'm tying to put together an Ancestor book report through the
publishing centre in Legacy 7.5 to give to my parents, aunts & uncles. As
such I thought of producing 2 ancestor report books, one based on my grandad,
the other based on my grandmother, that way the report is not based on any one
child (such as my dad) and is applicable to all.
The trouble is, when I produce my grandad's report, in order to see his
numerous life events and photos that I've attached to them, I've had to select
"Events for husband and wife" in the Options for Ancestor Books
window, but this also displays all my grand mother's life events as well.
Then when I produce my grandmother's report, again I have a similar
situation where as well as seeing all her life events which I want, I again see
all my grandad's life events as well. It looks a bit poor repeating the same
content so I was wondering if there's a way round this because so far I've not
found it?
I've got to admit I'm finding it quite a challenge trying to get a half
decent looking book produced from Legacy about my family history to give to my
family.
regards
Paul
