Does anyone who uses this package know the best way to print a 'tree' that is understandable to others. my mum would like a copy of my tree to pass to other family members but she says she can only understand it if it 'looks like a traditional tree.' (I know don't laugh) regards Jayne

start with the youngest member of the family select them and choose pedigree chart ,is the closest you'll get to a traditional one , you can preview it before printing to see if it is acceptable to you..if anyonehas any other ideas let us know.

Similar to Kim's advice. Choose the oldest member go to print reports and click decendancy list. You can preview before you print. This is particularly useful for picking out the different branches that might make it easier for your Mum to understand.
