I know I'm not very cumputer savvy, but I have never been able to print off anything from my tree using the sizing grid as no matter what I do I can't reach the print button at the bottom, when I try to raise it with the mouse as soon as I let go it drops down.When I use the task bar, I print pink and blue cubes obscured by the G,R, stuff and "compass" How can I print what I actually see on screen? Or is it a lost cause?

Thanks I will try that, I also have to reduce size to cancel the "changes "list which obscures the bottom corner of the tree, G.r. blithely press on happy that all is well, telling us what a wonderful job they are doing, when the most basic things don't work,Hey Ho .....thanks for your help,glad to know I'm not the only one!

Thankyou for telling me that, as while I was trying the first hint I with f11 key I recieved a 48 page printout with 3 blank pages between each ,of a completely different family, not known to me ...with living relatives. ,which makes me doubt the security question.I have shredded them for safety. Once bitten..twice shy.!!
