Frances,
You don't, the Help file is in advance of reality, it's not there yet.
I'm afraid it's a copy and paste operation and there are a number of ways of
doing this in the archives - see URL at the end of this post (or any other).

Using the descendant chart, the the same result in other descendant reports.
My brother in law's wife had a child to a previous encounter and three with

Well basically that was my question and I would assume that this option

It has been a while since I did that...I am running 6.0.
But, what doesn't make sense to me is that within the program itself,
these individuals ARE bolded as direct line. They are just not showing

Good point, but yes, I made sure of that. Actually, I'm okay now. What
I did was to clear and set, a couple of times, and then I also re-set
the "apply color to this line" (although I had done this at one time,
but it apparently needed to be re-set). Anyway, after clearing and

Barbara,
Map My Family Tree won't mess up your family file. I have used it and it

Since I got "Map My Family Tree" from the bundle of Legacy add-ons, I would
guess it is allowed to be discussed here. If not, I am sorry Brian. I have been

names and 5K places, so the program runs understandably slow o
