Hi John,
Yes the Copy to Clipboard option is pretty useless I think because it
copies as a graphic. However, it's not so hard to coy and paste a
report. You just have to choose the right format.
Do you mean the Descendant Chart report or the Descendant Book report
or the Descendant Narrative Book?
Descendant Chart - save to Text or HTML and copy and paste from that:
Example:
That's using formatting options - no boxes - pack on one line.

Save Book reports to RTF and open in your Word Processor. Indents are
preserved.

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
