==Getting Started==Open Office is a great companion for Gramps. As of Gramps version 2.1.5 marks are embedded in reports created in Open Document Text (.odt) (also in the older Open Office (.sxw) formats). These tags allow the creation of a Table of Contents or Index of names in OpenOfficeprogram.
The first step is to create a report. This example creates a book report to demonstrate that multiple reports can be combined.
From the menu select {{man menu|Reports->Books->Book Report}}.
From the menu select ''Reports->Books->Book Report''.

This opens the book report dialog. It has two lists. The top list shows all the available reports that can be added to the book. The bottom list shows all the reports that have been added.
In this example, you can see that the book will include a title page, a Complete Individual Report, a Detailed Decendant Report and a Detailed Ancestor Report. Click "OK" to generate the report.
