This is a really nice feature in v7, Meg. My maternal grandmother was one
of 14 siblings, too. It was such a pain to have to be forever scrolling
down to get to those last four. But not anymore! I chose "best fit" in the
options for children's columns and now Grandmother's sibs show up in three
side-by-side columns. The families with just one kid (or up to five) show
up in one column; those with 6-10 have two columns. Makes it lots easier to
navigate and looks very neat and tidy.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Slots for number of 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
