The Charting Companion has a good descendant fan chart that should fit on one page for 3 generations.

It will show the spouses of the third generation without including their children. My earlier email referred to the Descendant Chart which Legacy creates since Pat asked how to get Legacy to do what she wanted. Legacy Charting also has the ability to move people around to help condense the chart but there is still no fit to one page option.
