Is there any way of printing a user-friendly version of the trees I have created on the site? If I hit print I just get the whole screen - lots of adds etc & about 2 boxes of relatives!

Hello Gillian & Donna The Good News is Yes! I have done it via Exel & Coral Draw :-) The Bad News, I can't figuer out how the hell I did it!!! :-( Unfortunately I have to go out now (21:35 26-11-03) But if you have a graphics package like Coral i.e vector drawing, (Not a Bitmap package). leave a message here if you think it would be of use, and I will try and fathom out how I did it for you, later or tomorrow. Honest it can be done, and as a Coral graphic you could do all sorts on it, eg include your Coat of Arms! :-) All the Best Peter PS maybe this will prompt some one with greater expertise to add a bit.

Have not done this yet - but would it work if you just selected the tree that is visible and then clicked 'print *selection*' on the printer options? I don't know if it would work though. -Kat

there must be some way of doing it, but not sure how. LOL I have a pedigree chart I have made in excel, which I have been forwarding to anyone who requests, I can send you this if you like. Obviously you will have to enter all your ancestor details, but the good things about it is you are free to play around with it and add any extra info you like. Let me know if you would like a copy and add a request onto my family tree charts thread. Regards, Siobhan
