Olwyn, Dogging me, I went to the extreme to get what I think you want from an FGS all from within Legacy. Mind you, it is fiddly and if you wanted all information to be like this, then you'd have to treat your whole db like this.
I was able to get the FGS to look like this: http://www.easygensolutions.com/software/fgs-new.png I was able to do this within Legacy without the need to export to Adobe (which I don't have anyway). You can test this on a test file if you want to see whether it is a viable solution for you. To get Legacy to look like this: http://www.easygensolutions.com/software/legacy.png Menu: Edit > Swap Husband and Wife. You will need to agree to swap the gender Menu: Options > Customise > View | Default Family View Labels and Reporting > [Edit Default Marriage Wording] Swap the labels as shown: http://www.easygensolutions.com/software/marriage-wording.png Menu: Reports > Reports Menu (Charts) > Family Use this option then [Preview] http://www.easygensolutions.com/software/fgs-reports.png All within Legacy. Does this help?

You can however change the title if you wish. The default is “Family Group Record for [FullName]” You can change this to: Family Group Record for [WifeFullName] and [HusbFullName] Or as you suggested: Direct Descendants of [WifeFullName] and [HusbFullName] Simply make this change in the Reports > Reports menu (Chart) > Family, then make the necessary change in the “Title for the Family Group Record” text box. Kind Regards Mark Lang From: Olwyn Bourne [mailto:dobou...@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 21 April 2011 9:21 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Family Group Sheet - Wife at top I am using Legacy 7.5. Can anyone tell me what I check or uncheck to make it show the wife in the first position and in the title "Direct Descendants of" on the Family Group Sheet? I am following the female line and find it frustrating to have the husband always show in the title and at the top. I'm sure it's simple but I cannot find the answer. Tried searching options and customise - nothing is obvious to me.. Olwyn ________________________________________ No virus found in this message.
