Indented Report
To create an Indented report, pick Descendant from the main screen and then pick Indented. The indented report will print all the information about all the descendants of a person and will optionally print an alphabetical index. If you intend to publish a book and use the indented style report, you may set the output to go to a disk file in Rich Text Format and then use your word processor or a desktop publishing program to enhance the book. (To create a Rich Text Format file, set the options on the RTF tab and then pick File from the top menu and then pick "create RTF file.") For more information about RTF see Options for reports below.
The indented report uses a numbering system where the first person is given the Roman numeral I and the first child of that person is given the letter A, the second child is B and so on. The first child of A is 1 and the second is 2. There is also an option for using the Henry numbering system. With the Henry system the child of each person has the same number as the parent plus one additional digit. With this system, you can look at a person's number and see the numbers of the parent and grandparent, etc. For example if a person is the 12th child of person one, the child's number is 1.12. The 5th child of person 1.12 is 1.12.5. And the 8th child of person 1.12.5 would be 1.12.5.8. There are three options for the Henry numbering system. One uses a period between each number. The second option uses no periods, but uses ( ) if the number is 10 or more. The third system uses no periods, but uses A instead of 10 and B instead of 11 and C instead of 12 and so on.
