==Getting Started==[[Image:Toc tutorial 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Fig. 1 Creating a Book Report]][[Image:Toc tutorial 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Fig. 2 Book Report]] Open Office is a great companion for GRAMPS. As of GRAMPS version 2.1.5 Gramps embeds marks are embedded in reports created in the Open Document Text (.odt) format (also in the older Open Office (.sxw) formats). These tags allow the creation of a Table of Contents or Index of names in program.
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 labelmenu|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 Descendant Report and a Detailed Ancestor Report. Click {{man button|OK}} to generate the report.
