Is there a possibility( if not do it please) to show marriage dates in trees of relatives, descendants, or ancestors into boxes or above lines? This might be indeed a helpful key (new macro?) to facilitate evaluation or visual verification of putative dates, and would allow to print more complete trees. (Reunion 8)

Is there a possibility…to show marriage dates in trees of relatives, descendants, or ancestors into boxes or above lines?Yes, in the box. In the Layout's Settings for "Family Fields", enable whichever elements you want (e.g., "Marriage", "Divorce/Annulled/Separate", and/or whatever other items are shown there for the Family).

I've previously addressed the ability to create multiple Layouts (http://www.reuniontalk.com/showthread.php?t=673#post3153) and I'd recommend you search the Reunion Manual for "chart layouts". In that search, found item #10 "Descendant Chart, Layout", for example, addresses some specifics to that chart and, in turn, provides a link to found item #4 "Report Layouts, What Is a Layout?", where you'll find the "from-scratch" discussion of Layouts. (Although the latter is entitled "Report Layouts", you're linked to it from a chart description as many of the Layout features are equally applicable to charts.)

(Reunion 8) While not likely to have any bearing on this matter, I recommend that in the future you cite the full Reunion version number as well as the Apple Operating System under which you are running Reunion—just in case either might have some relevance to what you are experiencing or asking about.
