I would like to add a very simple enhancement to my Descendant Book Report - at the very top pages
The Heading Layout has a section "Title at the top of Page 1" where the template is Descendants of [FullName] So, it generates Descendants of David Thomas - when within a Descendant view in Legacy interface, I have set a descendants of N generations for that individual. It would be nice to be able to enhance this to include the parameters [Birth Date] and [Death Date] after the selected top-level person's name. Can I do that? It would be nice to display Descendants of David Thomas (Abt 1810 - 4 Jun 1887) .. and to have it nicely centred and placed on the pages, by configuring the Heading Layout within the designer. I.L.

Specifically, I created a report with 5 generations, and with its Name Index, 2-column, it was 23 pages in length. It has a Table of Contents, and that has the very helpful First Generation, Second Generation, ..., Fifth Generation, and Name Index page numbers. (these were on pages 1,3,9,16,20, and 22) For some reason, I was not getting a page number on any of the 23 pages. The Page Setup | Headings and Page Numbers tab seems to be the place to set this to give a centred page number at the bottom. Getting to the report settings for this is in itself a little confusing: the Report Options tab at the base of the configuration/settings needs to be selected, but it is the right margin area of that - the non-coloured, narrow section with a box [ Page Headers, Footers... ] which must be clicked. (a bit hard to describe - needs some step-by-step pictures of the report settings) Then, the Page Number Position section of that page requires attention to select Bottom Centre. However, it is a very comprehensive method for displaying the Legacy data in a way that "ordinary people" can understand. I regard it as an excellent means to explain the connections of generations.
