* Creating Reports via FH Generated rtf Files

[BobWard]

In order to get my reports formatted to my liking, it looks like I will be saving my FH generated reports in rtf format and then working on them in Word.

Just experimented on an Individual Report to see how this might work in trying to move images around, and, in some cases, enlarging images.  Things started getting a little messy with the images, e.g., parts of them were getting cut-off upon enlargement, resolution was becoming degraded, etc.

For those of you who go the rtf route in preparing your reports, are there any basic tips I should follow in creating the FH report, prior to saving to rtf format, that might make things a little easier to format in Word?

Firstly I would recommend ensuring you have done everything you can in FH to customise the report, using Fact sets and customising the sentence templates or using the override sentences can help a lot.

Word can be pretty tricky with images at the best of times, so you may be better exclude the images from the FH reports and add them in manually if you are not able to get FH to export them the size you want (remember the sizes and positions can be controlled in FH so if you want them bigger export them bigger).

The Knowledge Base FH Intermediate Guide has some tips under Publish Reports, Books, or Family Trees.

In particular see Report Content, Media, Format & Layout for adjusting the number and size of media images.
