Editing sections of a book

[CAshbridge]

I hope this isn't something rudimentary that i am missing. I am starting a Book project and when I click on the register report in the TOC, the report is generated. How do I edit that to create paragraphs or add other material? Is there another format that is best for doing that? Am I better creating the register report in Pages and then importing it? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The best way to add other information would be to add it to the notes for each person and then make sure notes fields are included in the report layout.

If the information is more general (not specific to one person) it might be better to add a section (chapter) to the book.

You can add a "Blank" section to the book in the Book Project window by clicking the + button under the list of sections to add a new blank section - the new section can be named and positioned in the list of sections. Then you can paste in text from a word processor to fill in the new page.

I agree with Gregg. I use several Book reports to distribute information to family members who do not use Reunion. Many have limited knowledge of genealogy or computers in general. I use notes for each person to show information that has come to me by personal interview or email and isn't already included in the events or facts list for that person. I also include an introductory section for general information and instructions before the Register Report. Here is a link to one of my intro sections that may be useful as an example to others: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/m0xyy...i9o29efmt&dl=0
