3. Document Configuration

Document configuration specifies the fields and tags used in a document. It is managed from the File | Options menu, and described in the application's Help system. New tags must be created using a graphics editor, such as Painting in AppleWorks.

The following genogram document contains some tags created for customers, one a physician and one an attorney.

Download medical tags
Download forensic tags

Reminder: It is difficult to change tags on a document that already exists. It is best to assemble the tags you plan to use for your work into a single blank document, and save it as the default genogram. Then the tags will be available on every new document you start.

4. To Save a Genogram as an Image File

You would use an image file to post a genogram image on a website, or you might e-mail it to someone who doesn't have the genogram software. Here is how to do it:

1) Load the genogram in GMM
2) Click the Snapshot button
3) Start AppleWorks, then Painting
4) Copy the image from the clipboard
5) In the File Menu, choose Save As and in the File Format menu select JPEG

5. To save a genogram as a PDF file

If your computer has PDF creation software, you can save a genogram as a PDF. To create a PDF file from Genoware you typically follow the same procedure as you would to print except you choose the PDF Creator as your "printer'. For further instruction, consult the documentation that accompanies your PDF creation software.

If your computer does not have PDF creation software, you will not be able to create PDF documents until you add it. All Macs running OS X or later include PDF creation as an included feature, so if you are using a Mac try, Choose File > Print and click the Save as PDF button.

For Mac systems without PDF creation software two options are:

Adobe Acrobat - The most commonly used PDF creation software is Adobe Acrobat, which is a commercial product available from www.adobe.com.

Jaws PDF Creator - Jaws PDF Creator is available from www.hallogram.com.

PDF files can be viewed on Macs with the built in application Preview or by using Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you need to add the Adobe Acrobat Reader software, it is free and can be downloaded at www.adobe.com.
