The best way to learn the Publisher is to try it. Add some chapters (reports), and do a preview and maybe create a PDF file for review. Printing would only be done for a final version that you are happy with.
Some tips: Chapters to include - 1. Introduction - explains what is in report to include major ancestors, an overview of major family names 2. Dedication chapter 3. Descendant book report chapter - from oldest ancestor 4. Descendant chart chapter from oldest ancestor 5. Ancestor chart chapter from youngest person 6. Ancestor book report from youngest person 7. 4 or 5 chapters of grandparents & parents A. Family group sheet for GPa B. Chronology of key GPa C. ScrapBook of pictures for GPa D. Descendant chart Repeat chapters using 7 above for GPa’s/Family on both sides 8. 2 column index at end 9. 2 column location index at end If u do this for one primary family, you will probably create a couple hundred pages book. I have published 5 books like this with color hardback cover, 8x10, that had 300-800 pages in the book. I would recommend you consider www.hula.com for publishing your book. A 300 pg book will cost about $30-50 a FPS that is very reasonable price. I have a more detail guide to publishing a book. Send me an email if you would need more details.
