Hi Cathy
Thanks Cathy however I have two Ancestor charts I have prepared (forgetting
about marriage information as I am happy with the output for this):
In the first chart I have asked for:
Birth, Death - in that chart there are no recorded baptisms or burials
included if no birth or death
Ron,
Not alphabetical order by family or given names.
Nor in RIN or MRIN orders either.
Nor by Added or Modified Dates.

Ron,
Remember that you do not need to have a physical printer
to add it to Windows, Provided that you don't (normally)
print to it. So you can add a large format printer and use
its page sizes in Legacy Charting, but export to PDF or
JPG files.

No, it doesn't matter what folder you store it in except yes, it would
