      click the <guibutton>OK</guibutton> button to open it. </para>
      
      <para>If you have previously opened databases with &app; you can 
      retrieve your past selections from the drop-down menu by clicking the

      <para>NOTE: you should open a <replaceable>DIRECTORY</replaceable> and

      a new database and is updated each time the database is saved. </para>

    <sect2 id="import-data"> 
      <title>Importing Data</title> 
      <para>Importing allows you to incorporate the data from other 
      databases into your currently open &app; database. Currently, 
      &app; can import data from three different 
      formats: GEDCOM, &app; database, and &app; package. All of these are
      available as items of <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu>
      <guisubmenu>Import</guisubmenu></menuchoice> submenu.</para>
      
      <para>Both &app; database, and &app; package are native &app; 
      formats. The package is a compressed archive containing the database 
      file and all media objects (images, sound files, etc.) that the 
      database refers to. The package is created by exporting data to 
      the &app; package, see <xref linkend="export-data"/>. 
      The &app; database is a directory containing the database file and 
      the local media objects. The database may also have references 
      to non-local (external) media objects, therefore it is not guaranteed 
      to be completely portable. The &app; database is created by saving 
      the data in a usual way, see <xref linkend="save-db"/>.
      </para>

      <para>Note that the difference between opening &app; database and 
      importing from &app; database is that importing incorporates all the 
      data into your currently open database, if any. </para>

      <para>After choosing an import format, you will be prompted with the
      <guilabel>Open File</guilabel> dialog asking you to specify the 
      file name from which to import. For GEDCOM and 
      &app; package, select an appropriate file. 
      For &app; database, select a directory which stores 
      the database and all media files (if any).</para> 

      <para>Upon starting the GEDCOM import, &app; 
      will display the following GEDCOM import dialog with the summary of the 
      information about the data. The information is updated as the import
      progresses. </para>

      <title>Exporting Data</title> 
      
      <para>Exporting allows you to share any portion of your &app; database 
      with other researchers as well as to make your database completely 
      portable to another computer. Currently, &app; 
      can export data  to three different formats: CD, GEDCOM, &app; package,

      <guisubmenu>Export</guisubmenu></menuchoice> submenu.</para>

      <para>Exporting to CD will prepare you database directory with all its
      contents to be recorded to the CD. This is done through the 
      <guilabel>burn:///</guilabel> location in Nautilus. After exporting to 
      CD, go to the <guilabel>burn:///</guilabel> location by  
      selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu>  
      <guisubmenu>CD Creator</guisubmenu></menuchoice> in Nautilus menu. Your

	The active person is given number 1. His or her father and mother 
	have numbers 2 and 3, respectively. This rule holds for every person 
	while going back in generations: father's parents are numbered 4 and 5, 
	and mother's parents are numbered 6 and 7, fathers always numbered 
	with even and mothers with odd numbers. Therefore, for any person

	<para> The Book Report creates a single document (i.e. a Book) 
        containing a collection of graphical and textual reports.
        Consequently, this allows for a very rich set of documents

        the order they will appear in the book. </para>

	<para> The configuration dialogs evoked by <guibutton>Setup</guibutton>
        are item-specific. If you choose not to configure the item, sane
        defaults will be used for all needed options. The common option for 
        almost all book items is the center person: the person on whom the
        item is centered. Thanks to this option, you can create a book with
        items centered on different people (e.g. your mom's and dad's 
        ancestors as separate chapters). By default, the center person is set to
        the active person. </para> 

	<para>Almost all items available for inclusion in the book are textual 
        or graphical reports, and are therefore available in the form of standalone
