Question:

Sorry I wasn't specific enough - I have researched my family tree and now want to print it?

either I can only print one or two names at a time - or, if I print it with more names on the print is so small you literally can't read it! any suggestions?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Depending on which program you're using, you might want to print a report as opposed to pages. I use Family Tree Maker. I click on reports and look at how they appear when I open them. I like to print out the reports that look like regular paragraphs on the family line. I go all the way back to the first person in a line--I have 4 lines I'm researching right now-- and ask for a Generation Report. This gives me information about all the people from my earliest ancester to the present on the report. It can be saved as a Word file by clicking on edit, clicking on select all, clicking on copy, opening a new word file and paste the information into the new document. Then I save the document according to the family sir name. I can always print from Word. It even makes it easier to email the information to family memters. I hope this is helpful.
