Ian, I hope you make your OCR corrections on Trove and then copy and paste the OCR'd text to your Legacy event note etc. What file are you talking about? I mostly don't download the file for the newspaper article or page. If I do, I use an image format and link it to the Event. The URL,

Good morning. My wife's father was one of 21 children from the same parents. One of the family has asked how many grandchildren, etc., that union has. I looked, but can't find, a report option that will provide the number of descendants by relationship (child, grandchild, etc.) for a
