Questionnaire


The questionnaire is used when you want to get information about your family from another person.  It is easy for another family member to simply fill in the blanks with what they know.  You can customize the questionnaire to include specific information you want and how many children to prompt for.


To print a Questionnaire:
1. Choose Questionnaire from the Reports tab on the Ribbon bar.
2. Set the options, as described below.
3. Click either Print or Preview to view the report.

Options

You can have the questionnaire printed with or without a line for christening/baptism information.

LDS Information
To include prompts for LDS ordinance information, select this option.  Lines will be included for baptism, endowment and sealing dates and places.

Other Information
You can specify how many blank lines you want to include for Other Information.  Family members often know additional information that you will want.

Include Closing Paragraph
You can have the questionnaire printed with or without the closing paragraph text.

Lines
When formatting the page layout, you can have a horizontal line printed at the top and bottom of the page or a line all the way around, thus boxing in the information.  You can also turn off the line printing if you want a cleaner look.

Fonts
You can specify the font name, size and style for the title, text and labels used in the questionnaire.

Opening Paragraph
The text for the opening paragraph is printed at the top of the first page and serves as an introduction to the questionnaire.  You can include the purpose for which you are seeking information and a return address where the form is to be returned.

Closing Paragraph
The closing paragraph is printed at the end of the questionnaire and can be a summary of the information requested, a plea for the return of the form and a "thank you" for their time.
