                        BOOK OUTLINE

The book outline serves as the primary screen for printouts.
You  may create reports using any combination of features of
FTJ for only one individual, a group of individuals, a  sub-
group or a complete book containing all individuals.

A  title page will be produced if any of the title, subtitle
or author information is not blank.

               BOOK OUTLINE CODES AND OPTIONS

Using the codes and options listed below,  you  can  compose
books, booklets and other printouts in almost any format.

PAGE  -  Start page numbering with the number in the options
field. The default is page 1. If the number is 0, pages will
not be numbered.

HEAD  -  The  heading  will  be centered in upper case, bold
print at the top of the next page or, if you are  using  the
two-sided  print  option, on the next odd-numbered page. The
heading will then be entered into the Table of Contents.

FILE - Print the file  named  in  the  options  field.  This
should  be  used  in conjunction with a heading as an intro-
duction to each section of your book.

TREE - Print trees and data  as  specified  in  the  options
field.

BIO - Print biographies as specified in the options field.

GRPS - Print family group sheets as specified in the options
field.

REF - Print references as specified in the options field.

AHN - Print Ahnentafel charts as specified  in  the  options
field.

DESC  -  Print tabular descendant charts as specified in the
options field.

BOX - Print box type descendant charts as specified  in  the
options field.

TRAD  -  Print traditional genealogy as specified in the op-
tions field.

FORM - Print FTJ information form as specified  in  the  op-
tions field.

NAML  -  Print  the  name  list  as specified in the options
field.

AUD - Print the audit of missing information as specified in
the options field.

MISC - Print the miscellaneous information.

TIME - Print the time line.

TC - Print the Table of Contents.

INDX - Print the Index.

BBL - Print the bibliography.

The  options field is provided to supply additional informa-
tion to some codes. It may contain a reference number  or  a
list  of  numbers  separated  by  spaces. You may also use a
combination of keywords to select the information that  will
be included.

                      OPTIONS KEYWORDS

SORT  DOBS  -  Sort  the  information  by  dates  of  birth.
(default)

SORT NAMES - Sort the information by surname.

SORT NUMBER - Sort the information by reference number.

TC LONG - Print the names and numbers of the key individuals
as a subheading in the Table of Contents. (default)

TC SHORT - Don't print names in the Table of Contents.

SUBGROUP  x  -  Use  only  names  flagged  with the subgroup
character (x).

EXPAND - Expand the information to include  all  names  that
have appeared in the previous codes.

ALL - Use all the names in the name list. (default)

NGSQ  -  This  option  is  only  used  with  the traditional
genealogies to indicate  that  you  will  use  the  National
Genealogical  Society Quarterly numbering system. If NGSQ is
not specified, the names will be numbered using the REGISTER
system.

BLANK  -  This option only applies to the FORM code. It will
cause a blank information form to be printed.

 ----------------------------------------------------------

The above codes and options are used as a  command  language
to the book printing function of Family Tree Journal. Except
for the Index  and  Table  of  Contents,  which  are  always
printed  last,  the codes will be executed in the order that
you specify. Not  all  options  apply  to  every  code.  The
default  for most codes is all individuals sorted by date of
birth and a long Table of Contents with names.

Most of the main sections will start on  a  new  page  (odd-
numbered  page  for  2-sided).  The options remain in effect
until superseded by a subsequent option entry.

Because of the cryptic nature of the  codes,  you  may  also
enter  comments into the options field to make the book out-
line easier to understand. Comments are introduced with a  /
character.  Anything  entered after the / will be ignored by
the print routine. Also, if the code  field  is  blank,  the
options  field  will be ignored and may be used for comments
(without the /).

Using PAGE 0 will cause the DESC, AHN and BOX charts to have
no page breaks at all. This is useful when you would like to
create wall charts. Most of the other codes will  split  the
pages  but  not  print page numbers when PAGE is 0. Use this
when you would like to insert  new  sections  into  existing
books  without  reprinting  the  entire book. Obviously, the
Index and Table of Contents will not be of  any  value  when
PAGE is set to 0!
