Can anyone advise me please as to how to get round a problem.
Have been creating my tree for the last four to five years on a FTM[1997 version] GSP company.
As this tree has reached nearly 800 names it will not print as the font is restricted to nine sheets of A4 size paper.The tree is of landscape format and on screen is perfectly legible.
As i want to create a folder type printed edition[ie name DOB location,marriage,occupation and eventual death[page by page ] so as to build up a historical record of each generation.
I am told on the software that this will not recreate if exported in a line format but would a gedcom reader solve this.
As i have no wish to re-enter all details,is there a software package that will allow me to re-create this tree by direct transfer.
Would appreciate some guidance in this matter.
Regards.
Michael.

Cant you print it in two sections.

I print off genealogy reports and specify how many pages to print when my print set up opens, this save me printing off unrelated family when I am passing on info for one of the branches

Upgrade to FTM 2012. The options for reporting and customizing reports in terms of content, look and feel and appearance are far superior.

Your existing FTM tree will convert automatically so no need to re-enter any names.
