You probably already know this, but I just learned it today and want to
share it...

When you generate a report as a text (.txt) file, the number of
characters per line (equivalent of the page width, were you printing it
out) is dictated by the number in the box next to the "Text file" radio
button.

Seems really obvious when it is pointed out to you (thank you again,
John!) but my brain isn't working that way today.

I've been stumbling around editing a descendants' chart report that was
generated at the standard 80-characters-per-line setting that has been
set on my Legacy (probably forever!), which has always been okay before
- until I came to a branch of the family tree that has at least 13
generations and that was too tight a squeeze.  Now that I'm almost
finished editing that file to what I want, I've learned I could have
saved myself a lot of work by setting that to a higher number - 300
takes care of everything that was bugging me.  Oh well, I'm not going to
forget this lesson in a hurry (I hope!).  :-)
