I think that the size of the actual chart depends on 3 factors - the number of boxes, the size of the boxes and the position of the boxes. The number of boxes is dependent on the number of individuals included in the chart, the size of them depends on how many fields are in them and the size of your font. First of all, select a font size that gives you readable text - perhaps a little larger than usual for a wall chart. Now when you got to Publish and select Order Chart, on the right hand side you will see that you have a choice of 3 paper sizes - 24", 36" and 42". You will probably want to select Landscape orientation. If you select 24" and see underneath it says "2 pages" (or more) it means that the number of *generations* you have selected will not display in that depth on one sheet, so try 36" or 42". The width of your chart (that is, the length of the piece of paper required) will automatically adjust to accommodate the width of your chart. I have created a chart of 12 generations with a fairly standard-sized font and up to 5 or 6 lines of information in the boxes. That fits nicely on to 36" paper and is 69' wide. You are making it difficult for yourself by stipulating both required depth and width. I think you need to get the chart readable, select the paper depth accordingly and just accept whatever width your finished chart will be. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
