I want to say thank you to everyone that helped me with this problem. Elizabeth Rodier, e-mailed me directly. She had a suggestion that help me to work out the problem. I am posting a copy of it here for anyone that needs this in the future. By the way, Sherry or whoever else that might be representing legacy, would you please turn this over to tech-support so they can check it and decide what they want to do.. Here's a copy of my correspondence with Elizabeth. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Elizabeth. I did not have the same problem you had with my file. Nevertheless, your representation of what was happening with the Asia Brown report caused me to look more closely for patterns in my own chronological report.
Here's what I found. If the ages ran together for example 26, 27, 28, and so forth,-and there was not enough information in the combination of date field and location field on the family view page then, the line would not wrap. For example if I had typed in (18 Feb 1888) for the date, and, (,, Florida,USA) and the person was one of the children, then it would report them as, (daughter born (# 1)) or (son born (# 1)). The (daughter born (# 1)) or (son born (# 1)) length is apparently not what generates the shift down a line for the program. The shift down a line is controlled by the length of the combination of the date and the location fields. If the date and location are long enough to wrap in the report, then the event lines would wrap as they are supposed to. I tested this by putting in a bunch of x's where I did not have enough information in the locations yet. So thank you Elizabeth, I will report this to legacy and they can decide if they want to do anything about it or not. I will also post this on the mail subscription so if anyone else runs into this problem they will know what's causing it.

That looks like the problem when the Chronology is viewed for Asa Brown in the sample file. I see a son overlap with the 1820 census for Asa Brown. Tried to change to landscape layout and the Chronology report wouldn't print. Saved as RTF and opened in Word with landscape layout. Date ranges would be a mess but no overlap showed in Preview. The Chronology report is great in theory but I need full width long notes in a font large enough for easy reading by people around 80. -- Elizabeth Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
