Hi Leon,
Thank you for your advice. I tried the Legacy Charting options, but
for some reason only the current record names appear. The only chart
that works with all records is the Descendant chart under Chart
Reports, which appearance is not what I'm looking for. I think I
might have to buy TreeDraw Legacy for all the entries to appear
properly. You say that none of the chart programs work well, so I'm a
bit confused. In my online search, the solution that was shown was
the TreeDraw program, in which one could format the lines, fonts,
colours, etc. once it imports the data from Legacy. If you have a
chance, I'd appreciate your feedback on this.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

I think you are asking for something that you won't like if you
had it. My experience with any of the charting programs, you will
only be able to use maybe 4-5 generations and beyond that you are
creating such a large chart, you can't see or print it on any
reasonable size of paper or poster.
I have about 40,000 people in my database and anything over about
4-5 generations is too large to use. Some of my families go back
15-20 generations. In Legacy, you can create a chart of Fathers
only that would span that many generations.
In Legacy, use the Legacy Charting icon to the right of the
Internet icon and you can plot lots of different charts. I would
suggest you try some of those before purchasing other software.
In some of my testing of Legacy Charting, I have created charts
of over 100 generations. The problem is, you cannot print that
size of chart - it is just a paper generator.
If you only have a few people in your database with only 3-4
generations, then you could chart something useful to be printed.
Anyway, just my thoughts, you won't be happy with what you are
asking for.

Hi Evelyn,
I have chart reports and other reports, but there are no options
for either. Thanks for getting back to me.

Have you tried the Legacy Charting options on the Reports tab?

I just purchased Legacy, and it seems that I can't make
a chart of all family members in one chart. I checked
online, and I found that if I buy TreeDraw Legacy, I
could use that for all the info in the Legacy data base.
It seems like a waste of money for a genealogy program
to not have the option to view the complete family tree.
Any ideas or advice are welcome.
