Can I insert an existing "cover page" into a "book"?

[thomprod]

I'm a relatively new Reunion user. I previously used "Brother's Keeper" on my Windows PC for my Family Tree and periodically generated Register Reports for printing and distributing to other family members via email. I've recently discovered the "book" feature in Reunion and love the format and layout that it provides. I'd like to send out a new Register Report using the "book" pdf format, but would like to include my existing one-page "cover sheet" that gives people an orientation and instructions on how to read the Register Report and how to contact me for updates. This "cover sheet" currently exists as page one of a Microsoft Word document. Is it possible to insert this after the table of contents in the book, just before the Generation One data, and then re-save it?

Yes. The manual calls this a "custom section", so search for those words in the manual for details. You could save the page as an .rtf file from Word, or print it to a .pdf file, and incorporate it into the book using one of those formats.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I was able to insert my cover page as a Custom Section, but the margins are not centered on the book page. This doesn't seem to be adjustable inside the book, and the margins were fine in the original Word document. Any advice on how to fix this in the book?
