Fwd: Re: [LegacyUG] Step-children.... in Family Group Sheets
Hi all, I'm a new Legacy user and just joined the list. I found the stepchildren thread in the archive, and was able successfully to set a stepson's status as step. So far so good. Those parents and stepson are part of a descendants report. In the report options - descendant chart - include tab, child status is grayed out, along with lots of other options. I thought perhaps those were enabled in Legacy Deluxe, so I paid the upgrade fee and installed it. But they're still grayed out. I'd also like to indicate divorce situations on that descendant chart, but marriage status is also grayed out. Have I missed something somewhere that would turn those options on? Thanks very much!

I think that you Will find that you need to link the child to the step pareng.

Wanda: It's been this way for years, so I wouldn't expect a change in the next version. (BTW, the request is not to include step-children, but to include the parent-child status so that we can see that they are step-children.) Mike: I think the same Include form is used for all the report types, with varying items grayed out, depending on the specific report type.

I use the Deluxe edition and those options are grayed out for me, also. The option to include stepchildren in a chart would be nice. Maybe it will be included in the next version.
