Ok so i am a bit of a fraud! It was not the all -in one tree I managed to get on one sheet! It was one of the others for direct ancestors. I just tried to print out my all in one tree for 7 generations and I got it printed on 3 sheets which would have to be cut and pasted together. I followed the instructions I have just given you. Need the magnifying glass to read it though ! Alice

Hope your printer set up is similar to mine! This is how it works for Epsom C42, but I would imagine all printers will offer similar options. Get the all in one tree up on screen. Go to print. When the print cue comes up go to set up. Click landscape then options. Click on printer properties then reduce or enlarge. My printer then give you the option of fitting to page. Clheck this box. Click ok - and wait to be astounded! You may lose some information in the text but it is great to have it all on one sheet! Alice

Me again...Another thing I thought of was....when you go to print.... Make sure you set your settings go to File.... Print..... Preferences..... then tick... landscape. Hope this helps :o) Gerri x

Ello Simone.... Join the club lol... I asked same question the other week. I was given distuctions on how to transfer my tree from here to a gedcom file/folder thingy. I'll copy n paste those same instructions on here for you.... =================================== Gerri, It is not possible to print your tree from this site, you need a programme to do it if you go to the website www.familysearch.org/ click order download products click software downloads free Click 77065999 at the top make sure you tick English and just follow instructions you can print out from there, just add your information like you do on here. Sue.......it is free to download ======================== Go to www.familysearch and download their free family search software. Export your tree from GC as a gedcom Import it to your new program Edit it there Export it as a Gedcom in Ansel format Import the corrected file to GC ========================= There you go....if I can do it so can you :o) This also allows you to work on your tree while off line. All the best Gerri x
