Jane,
It's possible that you don't even have tagging turned on so that the tags show
on all views.
If you don't have tag boxes on the main couple on Family View you need to go to
Option 1.5 and turn on tagging.
Then you can use advanced tagging as Jay says.
However, I think there are easier ways to get who you want in the new file.
Also, when you come to export, export to a Legacy file, not a Gedcom. This is
VITAL if you use SourceWriter sources as going via a Gedcom converts them all
to Basic Sources.
You want the direct line between two people, then you want the surrounding
relatives in the file so that they can be named as parents, spouses and
children but not have their own entry if I've understood you correctly.
1. Make sure the tag number you want to use is not used for anything else.
2. Go to the relationship calculator (Tools - Relationship) and set the left
and right persons to your starting and ending person. (if you want the siblings
of your start person, you
need to start with one of their children or tag the siblings manually before
step 6.)
3. Click the Options button and choose to tag the relationship line.
4. Close the Relationship Calculator
5. If you want to see whether the tags worked OK - go to the Name List, Search
> Show all tagged x where x is the tag number you are working with.
6. Now you are ready to export.
7. File > Export > to Legacy File
Give the new file a name eg: Ancestor line bet x and y
Then choose on the Legacy Export options screen to export those tagged x
AND tick the boxes underneath for their spouses, parents and children.
Click the Privacy Options and set them as desired
Check Show combine options when event definitions or locations are
different.
8. Start the Export.
Click the Start to Export
Understand that although you are EXPORTING, from Legacy's point of view you
are IMPORTING into an empty file. This is why you need to check the show
combine options when event defini
tions are different. The empty file has no locations so that bit only applies
when you are adding to an existing file. However the empty file has the default
event definitions so you need to choose to keep the incoming definitions if
you've made any changes. The third option at the bottom of the combine screen.
9. Finish by opening the new file.
10. Go to your start person
11. Run an ancestor report using the options you desire.
Done.
There is one variation from what you desire. The spouses who are also your
direct line ancestors have an entry. I don't know why you'd want to suppress
them but you said you did.
I've actually done this as I've written the steps so can send you a sample
report privately if you'd like one.
