Hi Meg,
I think you are talking about on screen view?
In Legacy 7 for the Family View, you have a new choice of Best Fit.
You find it at Options > Customise - View Tab - Child Columns on Family View.
You can select one, two or three columns - as you could I think in
version 4 - as well as Best fit
Best fit changes the number of columns depending on how many children
in the family.
You'll still need to use the slider to get the next screen if you
have a family with more than 15 children.

I've got an ancient version of Legacy, version 4. Am ready to
update and have a question on version 7's ability to list the number
of children in a family. v4 has the same number of 'slots' for
every family in the entire database. You can change it...but the
change affects ALL the families. I have some with upwards of 14
children which squeezes names in a small listing, any more are on an
extra tab. Those families with few children show mostly unecessary
blank spaces.
I need to be able to show a rare few familes with 14, 15, 16 or more
children with others having only 2, 3 or 4. I need the family page
display to be sized accordingly. Will v7 offer me this option ? Meg Greenwood
