    Fan Chart -- outer ring

    When I try to create a fan chart with 8 generations, the 2 outer rings of ancestors have their names and info truncated. Any suggestions re what I need to adjust to get the same info for them as for ancestors in the "inner rings"? I am using a large-format paper size (intended to hand over to a commercial printer) and I have tried playing with that, but it doesn't seem related to paper size, unless I am missing something. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Play around with increasing the size of the outer rings to display more information in them. You can "grab" the outer edge of any box within the ring that is to be adjusted by holding down the mouse button WHILE dragging outward.

      I ususlly use the Optimize Size menu option and then do some manual tweaking of the inner boxes so names fit properly.

        Thank you VERY much, Blaise and Benoit. I am not familiar with either of those options and will check them out later today. :-)
