    3. Goto Publish >> Person Reports >> Individual Reports Many of my people have multi-page reports. The first page shows "Individual Facts" and that carries on for as many pages as needed, followed by "Shared Facts" (i.e. marriages, etc.). Spouse(s) should also appear in the Individual Sumary section (which is reprinted at the top of each page). For example: Individual Report for John Smith =================================== Individual Summary: John Smith ----------------------------------- Sex: Male Father: Joseph Smith Mother: Susie Jones ==================================== Individuals Facts: ------------------------------------ <multiple pages> <multiple pages> <multiple pages> ==================================== Shared Facts: Jane Johnson ------------------------------------ Marriage: 26 Dec 1867 ==================================== From: H R Worthington <rworthington@att.net> To: Debbie <growingatree@hotmail.com>; "ftm-tech@rootsweb.com" <ftm-tech@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2015 5:59 PM Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] The Great Debate Debbie, what do you mean by "front page" "I personally would like to see the person's name, DOB, DOD, parents and spouse(s) on the front page."

In Family Tree Maker, have a check-box for: A. Relationship: This couple did not marry. B. Relationship: This couple did not have any children. C. Individual: This individual never married and had no children. 2. Report: Person Reports >> Individual Report I personally would like to see the person's name, DOB, DOD, parents and spouse(s) on the front page. Instead, it shows individual facts first and then shared facts ..... so spouse(s) often wind up on the last page. I don't want to flip through this report to find something as essential as spouse's name. 3. Split the NAME field into FIRST, MIDDLE, LAST, PREFIX and SUFFIX. I like to be able to see titles (Captain) and it helps with reports, especially when some people do not have all parts of their names identified. 4. In FTM, please allow us to see all of the text in the Description field! I find that I have to copy it into notepad to read all of the content. (This is when you click on a person and then click the PERSON tab to see all of the facts for that person.... both the left and right columns show the description field, and you cannot see the entire content in either view. 5. Additional content for a fact. In Legacy, each fact has date, place, description and NOTES where you are able to add more information about that fact. There is also a check box that allows you to specify whether or not you'd like to add the event notes to the sentence (the sentence created in reports from the data added to the fact). I find that with certain events I want to be able to add more content and cannot.... I sometimes add multiple facts to allow more room to add additional content.
