This section describes the Book report available in Gramps.
[[Image:ReportsBooks-Book-40.png|thumb|400px|right|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Book report]]
The Books Report creates allows you to create a '''genealogy book''' containing a collection of Gramps textual and graphical reports in a single document (i.e. a Book) containing a collection of graphical and textual reports. Consequently, The only report available under this allows for a very rich set of documents that Gramps can producereport is the Books Report.
When you select {{man menu|Reports-->Books...}} is selectedfrom the menu, the following {{man label|Book}} dialog appears:.
==Book==
The {{man label|Book name}} text entry field shows the name of the current book. It may be used to save the book (a set of configured selections) for future use, in which case you may first alter the field to contain whatever name you want. If you load a saved-away book (see below) it will show that book's name -- which may then be changed if you want to save a slightly-different configuration.
The configuration dialogs invoked by {{man button|Setup}} are item-specific. If you choose not to configure the item, some defaults will be used for all needed options. The common option for almost all book items is the center person: the person on whom the item is centered. Thanks to this option, you can create a book with items centered on different people (e.g. your mom's and dad's ancestors as separate chapters). By default, the center person is set to the Active Person.
If all selections of the reports to be included have been made, and possibly configured (or reconfigured) click the {{man button|OK}} button. This will invoke another {{man label|Book Report}} window. ==Book== There is one tab with available {{man label|Paper Options}} where you can change the Size and Orientation for the Paper Format, and all Margins. A click box is available to use metric values instead.
In the lower part of the window you can change some {{man label|Document Options}}:
*Output Format: drop down menu let you choose between: '''Open Document Text''', '''PDF document''' or '''Print...'''. Click box is available to open in [http://www.documentfoundationlibreoffice.org/download/ LibreOffice] Word Processor
*Filename: if you choose '''Open Document Text''' the default value is /yourhomedir/book.odt, while if you chose '''PDF document''' the default value is /yourhomedir/book.pdf instead.
You can edit the name (and directory) to be whatever you want, or you can click the {{man button|Save as}} button to invoke a {{man label|Save As}} window where you can change the file name settings in the usual way.
==Available items==
Almost all items available for inclusion in the book are textual or graphical reports, and are therefore available in the form of standalone reports (see [[Gramps_4.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports|Index of Reports]] for their individual documentation). The exceptions are the two following items which are only available as book items, in a book report:
[[Image:ReportsBooks-Book-Add-TitlePage-40.png|thumb|right|350px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Title page]]
:If you selected the {{man label|Title page}} item and clicked the {{man button|Add}} button to put this item in your book and you click {{man button|Preferences}} button (Configure currently selected item) you will get a {{man label|Title Page}} window.
Two tabs are available: '''Text''' and '''Image'''. In the {{man label|Text}} tab you have three text input fields available where you can change the '''Title''', the '''subtitle''' and a '''Footer''' (default Copyright 20122014).
The lower window part shows some '''Document Options''': here you can choose the '''Style'''. You can choose the default style or click on the {{man button|Style Editor...}} button. This brings up a {{man label|Style Editor}} window where you can add and remove Styles. For more details see also [[Gramps_4.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Style _editor|style editor]].
