Jerry, Many thanks for this. There's no way you can get a virus simply by copying & pasting a graphic into an email - you aren't running anything, simply reading a text file (I worked in IT!). Downloading larger files over a dial-up line is a better reason for not allowing inline graphics. I'm not actually looking for help - I have a system which works very well. I just think that the lack of decent charting is a huge drawback in a program as comprehensive as Legacy is in every other way. Legacy's other big drawback is the difficulty of splitting off family groups - its somewhere between very cumbersome & impossible. I'm just mildly surprised that no-one else seems very interested in these issues!
