Hi Graeme After you have created the chart, whilst the chart is the active window, choose File Save Graphic File ... (rather than File Save As, which you appear to have done, which gives you the boxchart suffix). From the window which displays, choose pdf as the file format, then click

I haven't reviewed anything else extensively, but in defence of Reunion, I think report and chart creation is one of its better features. The flexibility is endless, with Mac-like drag drop functionality within the charts. Drag individual person boxes to wherever you like, and the charts will

Hi Graeme I've come in late to this discussion. Here's some thoughts... Sharing with another Reunion user...send him the reunion file, not a boxchart (not sure what you meant by 'box file'). Others have mentioned the great features of Reunion, it's certainly worth persevering with. Reunion
