Elizabeth, I believe you are correct (can't edit standard output) & that's why Legacy has the RTF option.
Re: showing only some descendents I have seen on this list people recommending you export the subset you need to GEDCOM, then import into a new file, then unlink the "branches" you don't need in the particular report. (I'm paraphrasing.) Maybe that sort of approach could work for you. ON THE OTHER HAND: There are known issues with GEDCOM vs. Source Writer citations, so maybe it wouldn't work for you. --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Beasley Benson Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Hale Harbaugh Hind Hopkins Hughes Hurdle Jones Klein Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sanford Short Singer Sullivan Weller Williams ________________________________ From: Elizabeth <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, February 21, 2012 8:38:14 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Using Word for descendant report Thanks for all the advice. My original reason for exporting to Word was for subsequent editing. Whilst I probably should be able to get Legacy to produce the wording I need, if I only, for example, need some of the descendants shown, it seems easier to do that in Word. I don't believe one can edit the Standard Output, just print?
