Jeremy, thanks for steering me to those editing options. 1. However, I was referring to editing the actual labels b,d,m,c. You see, I live in Spain and those letters would have to be n,f,c,b to be fully understood. With TreeDraw Legacy I can rewrite these labels directly to whatever I want, or do so with a blanket text change. I'm hoping that this new Legacy wallchart program witll eventually have this versatility because the ancestor chart, at least, looks great. 2. I just tried this again and it works fine: boxes are now in porportion to text. I see this option in Appearance> Box borders> Check box: "Make all boxes the same."

Some observations: 1. You can edit the b,d,m,c, by going to the appearance tab, click box items then on one of the ‘items to display’ (say birth), and click ‘Include label’, then click ‘custom’ and enter whatever text you want in the box. 2. Where is the ‘make boxes the same size’ you are referring to? Have you tried clicking the ‘reformat chart’ button (bottom left on sidebar) Jeremy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leroy FergusonSent: 07 March 2008 10:10To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [LegacyUG] New Legacy wall charts - A few observations I am very impressed with the new Legacy wall charts, especially the Standard Ancestor. But I am also disappointed that the program, at least in Beta form, doesn't allow us to edit individual texts on screen (I don't mean the specially-created text boxes). This option, as I imagine it, would mean universal charts that can be edited to any Western language. For people like me who are running out of time waiting for the Spanish version of Legacy to break out of Beta, this is crucial: we must change b,d,m,c to other letters. Other languages still not incorporated into Legacy, of course, face the same problem. TreeDraw Legacy, although tough to learn, so far is the most versatile in this respect. It allows both direct, onscreen editing and "replace text" changes for imports and updates. That said, I'll also note that I cannot control the box sizes. The program will not obey my choice to uncheck "make boxes the same size"; they continue coming out all one size, leaving large wasted spaces in the older generation boxes for which less data is known. Must be a bug. One further observation: Bow Tie charts come up only in portrait size for me, which means a very tall frame for my proposed ancestor wallchart. I'd prefer a landscape size which can fit over a sofa or table. Although printers choose this option, it seems that the program itself has to first tilt the data that way as well. I recognize that their may be workarounds for all this that I have missed, and I'd delighted to hear about them. Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
