FWIW, I gave up on Legacy's charting quite some time ago. I now use
"FamilyTree SuperTools v2" (
http://www.whollygenes.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?screen=FTST ) from the makers
of TMG. It works much much better, allows coloring and sort of great things.
It cane even import Legacy files directly.
I think Legacy should drop its Charting program and adopt this one. Far
superior. It actually comes from a third party.

Thanks for your response, Ward. I discovered that, too. What I ended up doing
was scrapping it; using the digital photo software to put the pictures on a
page with text boxes...there probably is a better way.
Best regards,

I hadn't played with Charting much, so my first reaction to this was why
can't you simply drag half the boxes down so that they are staggered (so
roughly six children across the page, two rows deep). However, when I went to
try it, I found that the lines connecting the boxes did not drag in a sensible
way, so they look really bad. I couldn't find any way to select and drag a
connecting line, or to get the program to automatically tidy up the line
routings. Is the program really that crude, or have I overlooked something
obvious?

Thanks for your response, Jenny. I guess I will try to do it across two
pages, then.

I am trying to create a 2-generation chart of only the parents and their 12
children using my Legacy Charting. It adds the spouses of the children
automatically, and I have not been able to find in the help/tips anything that
allows me to delete the spouses,
I don't know if there is a better way, but one option is to temporarily
make the spouses invisible (in Legacy.)
or to make the chart print out on a 1-page, 8.5 x 11 page, instead of
spreading out over 6 pages. Am I just not looking in the right place?
If you are to get 12 children across an 11" page, each box is going to have
to be quite a bit less than 1", allowing for even a tiny pace between each one.
At that size, would you be able to read the names, never mind any other
information? Actually, I think 1" is the minimum width for boxes so you won't
get 12 children onto one sheet.
