Hi Richard, Are you talking about Legacy Report Charts OR Legacy Charting? I'm confused as you talk about saving to JPG which you can do with Legacy Charting but talk about Pedigree Chart which isn't an option in Legacy Charting unless you are talking loosely and mean an Ancestor Chart.
In Legacy Charting you can add text boxes anywhere so long as you don't try to put them on top of one of the name boxes as they slide underneath and there doesn't seem to be an option to put them on top. These can be coloured whatever you like and can all be different colours. In neither can you colour the actual name boxes in the way you suggest but in both you can have coloured boxes governed by different criteria. Another option is to put your "annotation" in the Name Suffix field or at least a symbol to indicate look elsewhere for the meaning. The code can be put into a text box in Legacy Charting but there is no way to add such additions to a Legacy Report Chart.
