Re: [LegacyUG] Disabled Landscape option for Pedigree Report
I had the same problem a while back, and this is the reply I received (it's probably in the Legacy archives): Try using the Books/OtherPublishing CenterPedigree Chart. Once in the Pedigree chart dialog, go to the Options tab and select page setup and you should be good to go. Seems strange, but it worked.

[LegacyUG] PDF Pedigree Reports
Has anyone had instances of pages being duplicated while making *.pdf reports? I have printed a 37 page PR and noticed that page 10 and 11 are *exactly*the same, although the pages are numbered correctly (i.e. in order). On page 10, the last entry states 'cont 27'; on page 11, the last entry states 'cont 28'. I checked pages 27 and 28 and these are exactly the same too.

[LegacyUG] Landscape Pedigree charts
Is there a trick to using landscape printing in Pedigree Charts?

Re: [LegacyUG] How to identify the commonly used first name?
If you have a large database (or even a small one) - use the a.k.a., otherwise you will pull your hair out looking for an individual in the index.

Re: [LegacyUG] New User Problems
I always put nicknames in the same space with the first name: As your database grows you will have enormous problems with indexing if you do that. I use the AKA feature - much more efficient. Last Name: Smith First Name: Wayne Alan Snuffy That way, if you upload to rootsweb for example, someone who searches for him using only his nickname (maybe that's all they ever knew him by) would still find him.
