In a Descendants by Generation Narrative Report, is there a way to keep the Source Titles together with the Source Media?

I have a number of Sources showing in the Report where the title is at the bottom of one page and the image is at the top of the next page.

I can't see any Option for 'keeping Source Titles and images together.

Thanks.

That is a recurring annoyance for which there is no satisfactory solution.

Thanks Mike. That's a pity.

I have another Source/Report question which I'll post separately.

It depends on which report you are processing and which tools you have access to and are comfortable using.

The only reports I ever print to pdf are the Individual Summary and Family Group. They export well to RFT, so I import to Word and run a custom macro that tidies up all the formatting automatically, including this issue.

The end result is excellent.

Thanks Mark.

I'm playing around with a Descendants by Generation Narrative Report at present but I'm sure I'll have a go at most reports over time.

That's an interesting idea you have. I'll try that and just manually arrange the spacing, rather than getting into a Macro.

Just wondering though - would producing a document as you describe result in as good definition as saving the Report as a pdf - i.e. would expanding the document to read various Media forms be as good as a pdf?

My image needs are fairly modest - A4 page size with relatively small images (really just large thumbnails), and they print well. Try it with your preferred report and image type/size.

FH makes extensive use of tables for formatting reports, so the two key elements you will need are “keep with next” for the text immediately before an unwelcome page break, and formatting cells to inhibit splitting across page boundaries. If you do that rather than insert hard page breaks, they stay flexible as text above them is reformatted.
