Priscilla, Another suggestion is to download the little free utility, Nemo PDF to Word.
http://www.nemopdf.com/pdf-to-word.html It will convert your Legacy PDF reports to Word. I haven’t tried it with a chart but the report conversions turned out very well. I use a lot of photos in my database and all of the photos in my reports were converted to Word, perfectly placed. I was amazed! I tried some editing and the formatting held, which was another surprise. This might be another option for you. For a free utility, it is worth every cent!

Hi Priscilla, You can save any of the book reports to .rtf which is rich text format which will open in any word processor. However, it sounds like you want a Descendant Chart with the option chosen to pack information on one line. This can be saved to either html or txt. Both can be opened in Word. The Descendant Chart with the option to include marriage date and spouse's parents, with format - pack information on one line is a great report. These choices to save in other formats are below the Preview/Print button and are made before you click the Preview button and then the Print button changes into a Create button.

I would like to make what I call an Outline De scendant Tree -- something with one person on each line plus date of birth, date of marriage, date of death -- but in a format that could be changed. Most of the formats I see end up in a pdf, so that when I send it to my cousin, she cannot add to it or subtract from it. If it were in Word or some sort of format like that, she could add to it when children are born, or add other information that was important to her. Could someone please walk me through a way to do this?
