DEFINE CONTENTS - Adding Chapters

There are two ways to add chapters to your book:
1) F3 will bring up a list of pre-defined chapter headings.
These are suggested chapters only and appear in the
approximate order of a person's life. You may use all
or some of these chapters. You may use them in a
different order than shown. You may intermix these pre-
defined chapters with user-defined chapters.
2) F4 will cause a small window to appear, prompting you
to type in your own chapter heading. You may enter

personal and ancestral stories.

1) F3 will bring up a list of the pre-defined topics

2) F6 will bring up a list of ALL pre-defined topics for
all pre-defined chapters. The first group of topics
which have very similar headings to the chapter headings
are not associated with any chapter. As described in the

A chapter page with "APPENDIX" can be printed and it will

BINDING YOUR BOOK
You may print out your book several times to make
several copies, or you may print one copy and use a copier
to make multiple copies. You might opt to take your book
to a printers and have it professionally bound, either hard
or soft.
:The economical method is to punch the pages with a
three hole punch and put in a loose leaf binder or (my
preference) soft covered binders that expand to the amount
of material included (pages don't tear out as easy).

created an illustrated ancestry book. Each of my (then 4)
children (aged 4 through 10) drew pictures at my prompting
about events in the lives of our ancestors and we included
them in a book with a short story of each ancestor. This
greatly increased our children's interest in their
ancestors.

chapter. Print out each chapter seperately, leaving the
appropriate number of page numbers between each chapter for
the pictures. When printing out the Table of Contents you
can then enter the correct beginning chapter page number.
To copy on a copier properly, the drawings need to be
done with a dark medium. Black ink copies the best. If
using pencil, try to draw as dark and definitive as
possible. Gray areas don't always copy well.

THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT
Page 1
If you are new to computers you may not have heard the
term SHAREWARE. Basically this means an author or group has
prepared a software program which you are free to copy and
encouraged to share with others, but the author requests a
registration fee. If you recieved this program from a
shareware distributor who charged $3 to $5 you have only
paid a distribution/handling fee to copy and produce a
diskette of which NO PORTION goes to the author of the
software.

"These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but
minds alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its
own voice
and just as the touch of a button on our set
will fill the room with music, so by taking down one of
these volumes and opening it, one can call into range the
voice of a man far distant in time and space, and hear him
speaking to us, mind to mind, heart to heart." - Gilbert

THOUGHTS ON WRITING

Wouldn't it have been wonderful if your ancestor had
talked to you from a distant time and place? Wouldn't it
be wonderful if you spoke to your yet unborn descendants
as if from the grave, by recording your life, your
experiences and your thoughts? You can do just that by
writing down all you can remember about your life and the
life of your ancestors.
+I hope that yours may be a voice to reach out through
time and space to your own extended family and descendants.

THOUGHTS ON WRITING
Page 1
Some people don't write because they don't think they
are good writers. Some people think that they are not good
spellers or don't know or understand grammar. Maybe all of
the above are true for you, but I say that it doesn't
matter. Write something anyway. How much would you give to
have a single page written by your great grandfather? What
a treasure it would be, yet he probably thought that he was
not well-educated and could not write. But you wouldn't
care if he misspelled words or misused grammar, would you?

UPDATING YOUR STORY

I personally have written several volumes about my own
life. (I think I'm on volume 6.) I have written several
books on the lives of my ancestors. How do I keep my life
story up-to-date? I do it through my journal. For many
years, I used a plain spiral notebook for making entries.
I eventually migrated to a word processor on my computer,
but now I have something even better, the CUMBERLAND DIARY.
Some people say to write in a diary every day. You may
find that that method suits you well. I only write

years. Sometimes I write about once a week, sometimes it
may be a few months. This method may also suit you.
The CUMBERLAND DIARY program can handle either method.
With it, you can write as often or as little as you want.
You could print your Diary or Journal seperately from your
life story or you may import text from the CUMBERLAND
DIARY to the CUMBERLAND STORY and add diary entries as
topics. (See the last chapter of Sample Book #2 - SAMPLE2.)

The word processor consists of 16 lines at the bottom
of the screen. The appropriate method of writing is to
type continuously without carriage returns at the end of
lines. The computer will automatically wrap a word down to
the next line if it will not fit on the current line.
Carriage returns (enter key or return key) are entered at

May I suggest a method of writing your life story?
After creating a new book, use the F2-File/Define Contents
option to begin outlining your life with chapters. Select
chapters which you would like to write about from the list
of pre-defined chapters. If there have been major events
in your life (such as a move) which do not flow with the
pre-defined chapters, create your own with the User-
Defined Chapters function.
(After you have defined the chapters, the define topics

way. You can skip around from topic to topic as the mood
strikes you. If you have a thought that needs to go in

#How long should a topic or chapter be? It doesn't

chapter, but beyond that there are no rules. Do what you

edition. Once you get interested in this hobby of writing,
you might want to write one book for each of your
