Mike,
There's an option in Legacy Charting in version 9 to change Date formats.
See Help and Options - Chart Options - Date Format tab.
This is not in Legacy 8 charting.
If you've only recently purchased Legacy 8 (since 25 Nov 2016) you are
eligible for a free upgrade to 9. If you didn't get the email, contact
Sales.

Thank you so much, Jenny. I moved up to version 8 (but haven't
purchased 9 yet), converted my family from backup, and both your
suggestions worked beautifully. In fact, I can even leave those
individuals set to "invisible", then check or uncheck a single box in
the chart options to display or suppress the invisibles. This is neat!
Now I have one more question. I can change the date format within
Legacy (e.g. to a U.S. style 4/29/2017), but this doesn't seem to get
passed through to the charting program. In my charts, I can't seem to
get anything but the British-style 29 Apr 2017. Is there a chart
option to change the date format?
Thanks again!
Mike

Two questions. First, how do I create one that shows only blood

the second line; I'd like just the 8 children.
One way would be to go into the Privacy Settings on each spouse's
Individual'sInformation page and (temporarily)cset him/her to Invisible.
Second, how do I request a descendant chart whose generations go
left-to-right instead of top-down?
Can't remember back to that version of Legacy but on 9 (and I'm sure 8
was the same) the left-to-right version of the chart was the second
one labelled "Standard" along the row marked Descendant when selecting
the chart type.

Hi all,
I'm new to the group. I've used Legacy Deluxe 7.5 and Legacy Charting
Deluxe 7.5 for a few years, more intensively in the last few months.
I like the descendant charts.
