PRINTING FROM THE SAR PATRIOT INDEX in the menu frame on the left.
There are many printing options available from Family Explorer™ and they are all explained in the Family Explorer's
Help menu. These web pages are simply to help you familiarize yourself
in moving about these printing options.
Printing may be done by either clicking on the toolbar icons
for Family, Ancstr. or Desc.
or by clicking on Reports.
This exercise will walk through the printing of a Register report. All other reports
follow a similar path.
- Select the individual you want to use as the starting point for your Register Report. Enter
herrington & james and click on GOTO
to follow along with these instructions. Because this is a Descendancy Report it would be
normal to select the oldest person, typically a Patriot Ancestor.
- Next click on Reports/Register
- which will bring up the Contents tab
in the Register Report Options box. Look over
the default settings that have been provided. For this exercise all the defaults
will be used.
- Next click on the Layout tab. Note that the default
Word Processor is WordPad
(which comes with Windows). You should select your word processor program from
the drop down box.
- Nothing needs to be changed on Names tab although you may
wish to try out various options at a later time.
- Once the "setup" work is done all that is necessary is to click on Print
- Clicking on Print brings up the box where you specify where you want your file
to be saved. The problem is that if you simply put the name of your file in
File Name box it will get mixed in
with all the other Progeny files so a new Folder
should be created.
- Double click on Reports which will
put your new folder name in the Save In: box.
- Type the name you want to use for the file in the File name:
box.
- and click on Save box
- and the sample page of the finished report will show up in your word processor.
- If you don't want the sample page to
show just unclick the
box in the
Contents drop down
dialog box.
- scroll down in your word processor to see the first page of the actual report.
- If you don't want the pictures included just unclick the Include photos box in the
Contents drop down
dialog box.
- From this point forward you can manipulate the data as you would any other document in
your word processor.
