Across the top menu in Legacy, choose Reports, then scroll down to Legacy Charting. This will open the Legacy Charting program. Choose the Full Fan report. I love this report for showing where the holes are. I've printed the pages, and taped them together to hang over my filing cabinet, so I can quickly see at a glance where my research ends. I do love the color coding, so I can tell which line I'm seeing. Hope this helps. Dede Holden
