Actually it's not funny because Legacy is using the 4-generation colour coding system where a separate colour is assigned to each of the paternal grandfather line, paternal grandmother line, maternal grandfather line and paternal grandmother line. If, as I assume, you are talking about a chart in Legacy Charting, I think the nearest you can get to what you want is to have each generation in a different colour. To select this click on the Colour icon and select the number of colours you want. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
