    1. Re: [PAF-5] How to save reports as files?

Can anyone tell me how to create a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file and not show full detail (birth date, etc...) of living persons? Sure hope it can be done. PAF makes this really easy using Custom Reports. Go to Reports, click on the Custom tab, Change the name of the report to something appropriate (like Lucie's Selections). Select all the people you want in the report (this takes you to a page that looks just like the gedcom selection page). Now use the Report Layout to set the report up. You can use any of the possible fields (click on the Fields button) listed there. It takes some practice to get it set up just the way you want it. Use Preview to look at the report until it is right. You can change the fonts used, the orientation of the paper and lots of other things to get it right. When it is the way you want it, just click on the box on the right lower left side that says "Print to file" this will save your report to an rtf file and you can send it out. However, it will not let you marry two guys together. There are some things even PAF won't do.
