The word processor should only be used for pagination, TOC generation, indexing, and printing. This means that the book automatically includes a table of contents, index and cross-references.Īfter you add additional content to your book document you will need to update all fields with the help of your word processor. If you create documents in Word document (DOCX, DOC) or PDF format, pagination is performed by the plugin and all fields are automatically updated. The goal of the plugin is to generate the book from data available in your Family Tree Maker database. The pages by default are formatted to be printed double sided to facilitate bookbinding. The book includes Table of Contents (TOC) entries, index entries, footnotes, and hyperlinks as invisible elements based on the descendants, ancestors, or relatives of the selected person when you start the plugin. The Family Book Creator plugin creates full-featured, sophisticated Book Documents in multiple formats including RTF, DOCX, DOC, PDF, and EPUB, without the need to have Microsoft Word or any other word processor or PDF application installed. (Note: Previous editions of Family Book Creator are compatible with FTM 2012, FTM 2014, FTM 2014.1, FTM 2017 and FTM 2019 for Windows.)
