I cannot get the index to print out when I select the book format.
Is there a radio button I am not selecting or does it not print out the
index any more?

Thank you and regards,

FILE/print reports/BOOKS/
select Descendancy -- immediately beneath that word and in
another box there is a space to select by tic INCLUDE INDEX.

At the VERY least, ticking that box puts the index into the
preview.

Since I never print directly to paper, I won't speak to
that; and since by creating an editable file, I invariably
find /something/ to edit, I end up recreating the index in
my word-processor anyway, so I won't even swear it comes up
there either.

Hi Cheryl,

Thanks for your suggestion - that is what I have been doing but still the
index does not print out. I have two family members who do not have
computers - too old - but they love to read what I have found.
A while ago I was able to print out an index but now I can't.

Is there a PAF support group that I could ask?

Cheers.

Try -- paf-5...@rootsweb.com to whom I have copied this
reply.

(Guys, PAF apparently suddenly stopped giving her the index
in hard-copy. What /could/ have happened?

Thanks once again for the help.

My problem has been sorted. It seems that when you want to print an index
with the 'book', you must not do a Preview then "Save As" because the index
will not print.

If you just Print the 'book' directly without saving it, it will print
immediately with the index.

Bit weird I think, because I wanted to edit the 'book' before printing it.

At least I know why now.

Thank you.
