Jenny, If those ancestors were added after you last set relationships and then set ancestral colors then you need to reapply those settings again as they do not update automatically. First set relationships and then apply the colors. Russ

I think one can't get boxes and colours when putting 6 generations on a page because then are too busy. However, I have looked into my problem further and I think I see the root of it now. It would appear that none of my 4th great grandparents and beyond are getting the Ancestor Colours added to the little box next to the three Tag boxes just above their names on the Family View. When any of these persons appears as the first name on a Pedigree Chart page no colours are produced. This is why the appearance/non-appearance of colours seems to vary according to the starting-person and/or the number of gens to a page. The boxes are printed a certain colour across the width of the page according to the colour of the first person on that line so as long as that first person is "less" than a 4th great the colours are printed correctly, but if the first person on a page is a 4th great the colour of that person isn't found so no one on that page gets a colour. I feel I can now give Support a more precise explanation of the problem. -- Jenny M Benson -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
