Jeff, I do not know what you mean by the "3rd column" unless you are referring to the spaces between the dotted red lines - if so these are only the parameters of whatever page setting you have. They have no effect on whether or not a name will fit inb the boxes. You can, however change the box width to accomodate the length and also the generation width using the Sizing Options. You can further reduce the print size using the Box Items option. If your tree starts too far to the right you can move the lot by first clicking the red tree in the left panel, the others allow the red indicated boxes to move. I suggest that you have a play. Yes, depending on the options chosen some of the Report Charts can have boxes.
