Printing Pedigree Charts

[Philip Drugge]

I like the look of the Pedigree Chart and many people like to have a hard copy of them. But it is difficult to print them.

I can print a one page chart with 7 or less generations on one page . But if I want to print several pages to accommodate all my ancestors, the text and little ovals overlap and half of it is one page and half on another. Is here any way to print individual pages that do not have overlapping data? It's OK for viewing on the computer or an LED, but not for hard copies.

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting when you print your chart, but I think you should try this: once you've generated your chart, go to the "Tree" menu and select "Move Boxes Off Page Breaks" and see if it takes care of the problem.

Also you might consider printing a Cascading Pedigree (with 4 or 5 generations per page, but in a very uniform format that prints well).

Hi Dennis,

I'm not sure how much you helped me, but it was a lot!! I managed to follow your directions and then I think I have progressed from there. Found all kinds of neat stuff of which I was unaware.

Thanks very much.

Merry Christmas,

Phil
