John...
I have one foot in the door with FTM2008 and you might want to take
another look when the finalize Service Pack 1. They will have some
wonderful reports there... all the ones from FTM2006/V16 and some new
very nice ones.
They will also have a better share information function where you can
export them to an RTF then post on rootsweb with good formating. I
simply export it to word and then copy and paste from there.
They are making vast improvements in FTM2008 and their sourcing, if you
can figure it out, is actually more robust than legacy. I

One of the many reasons I changed from FTM was the reason that I had lost
most of the simple copy and paste on my reports with FTM2008. Previous
versions of FTM were fantastic and allowed to copy and paste showing the
indented generations. I would often copy and paste a section to run queries
elsewhere (Rootsweb,etc).....I'm having difficulty with Legacy in doing
such?? I run a Descendent report, but trying to save it and then paste
either in an email or on a Rootsweb query page, is not working??? Is there
a simple way to do this?? The copying to Clipboard doesn't seem to work, as
it always wants a graphic file and the .rs1 extension doesn't want to be
read by my computer Windows Vista) Even if I save it in PDF format, and
then copy it to email, it puts everything (generation numbers) up against
the left edge without indenting the generations. FTM used to do this,
Why is such a simple thing, copy and paste not allowed, and copy and paste
in simple text form to input into emails or queries??? Showing the indented
generations? Help, maybe it's there and I'm not grasping it. Thanks,
John
