Have you figured out a way to do an Outline Descendant Tree from one
ancestor to one of his/her descendants in Legacy that looks like this
without having to do a lot of editing?

Uh, how about Making a Descendant chart and then going to the Format
Tab of the Report Options Button. Then choose the Leaders option instead

No, that doesn't work (unless I'm missing something). I want one straight
line from a set of great-grandparents to me -- without all the other
descendants. I can edit out all the other descendants, but why bother when I
can use FTM to create an outline descendant tree with the option to cut out
all extraneous relatives. I use this to show "cousins" how I descend from
the same people they do.
This is what Legacy gives me:
1-Nicolas ROY b. Circa 25 May 1639, St-Rémy, Dieppe, Rouen, Normandie,
France, d. Circa 1691, La Durantaye,
Bellechasse, Québec, Canada
+Jeanne LELIEVRE b. Circa 22 March 1634, St-Rémy, Dieppe, Rouen, Normandie,
France, d. Circa 11 January 1728, St-Vallier, Bellechasse, Québec, Canada,
m. February 1658, Honfleur, Rouen, Normandie, France
. . 2-Louis ROY b. Circa 26 November 1658, St-Rémy, Dieppe, Rouen,
Normandie, France, d. 5 June 1705, Hôtel-
Dieu de Québec, Québec, Canada
. . +Marie LEDRAN b. Circa 27 January 1666, Québec, Québec, Québec, Canada,
d. Circa 13 November 1713,
Beaumont, Bellechasse, Québec, Canada, m. 20 May 1682, Cap-St-Ignace,
Montmagny, Québec, Canada
. . . . 3-Elisabeth ROY b. 17 August 1683, Pointe-de-Lévy, Lauzon, Québec,
Canada, d. 27 November 1703, Beaumont,

I don't see a way to simplify Legacy's chart -- except by editing.
