We often hear from clients that want to add or remove information from one of our standard directories. That is why we created what we call the Custom DocX Directory. There are actually 3 directories you can choose from:
- Picture Directory (4-per page)
- Picture Directory (24-per page)
- Family Picture Directory (12-per page)
If you can follow directions, you will be able to take one of these templates and customize it yourself. You must be using the version of Word that creates a Docx file type.
The help documentation has everything you need, including a list of available replacement codes if you want to add information to the directory.
NOTE: Be very careful when creating this, as the line of code you will add to Custom Reports must be exactly like what we have in the documentation.
Ok, just kidding about the Jedi. We actually returned the Picture Directory 4/page. You will find it under the cloud icon in the Directories section. This is the older directory that we replaced when we redid the directories recently. However, when we found out that some of you really loved that directory, we put it back..and it’s even better. Keep reading to find out about the improvement as it affects other directories as well.
We all know that Directory Assistance has changed dramatically through the years. Well, some of our directories (on the blue Toolbar) have changed, too. We did this in order to make these function better, look better, and, by rewriting them in Word, to give us the ability down the road (maybe later this summer) to create recipes for all of these. When we have recipes churches will be able to customize the directories.
