Diagrams in Book Form

Post by Marilyn » 30 Nov 2008 13:44

Please could anyone tell me if it is possible to print out a diagram of any individual in book form, i.e. where it says continued on another page etc. I did this last year on Family Tree Maker as I made a book file of each family and now I have found out more information these all need updating.  If not I will have to think of another way.

Thanks for your help

Book style diagrams are not supported currently, although they are on the wish list there does not seem to be a lot of demand for them.

If you really want them look at using TCGR along side FH.

Which is what I use when I need them.

Re my recent query concerning producing diagrams & publishing where families are interconnected, I wonder if this TCGR software would be of extra help. Has anyone any comments on using it?

Thanks Jane, I might do it in report form instead.

Thanks for your suggestion

I just had a quick look at the web site and downloaded a copy of the beta of The Genealogy Builder which has some interesting tools for spotting mistakes in gedcom files (which I am sure I could do with queries) and also a demo of the 2009 Reporter which produced a massive (350+ page) PDF of my tree in a short space of time (after a considerable piece of analysis to be fair, several minutes) and I am impressed by the coverage and usefulness. I may well watch out for this
