My apologies for the blank message. Not sure how that happened. What I was trying to say was that when you're looking at the chart in Legacy Charting, use the tray of icons on the left hand side. With the arrow tool selected (not the hand tool, etc), select the little tree icon where the top half of the tree is highlighted in red. Now, when you click on a person and drag, the people under him/her will move with him/her. Select every other sibling and drag them down, for example, and you'll be able to cut the width by about half. Depending on how many generations down it goes, this should be able to solve your problem. -Patti
