Assuming that you don't care much about the philosophy of why/how and just want what you want however you can get it: Version 1 assumes you can type reasonably fast: 1. Generate the report based on the oldest grandchild of the 4-child daughter and PRINT IT TO FILE as an rtf/rich-text. 2. Open that report, and manually enter the same data for children 2 thru 4. SAVE AS rtf 3. Open report again and either print it or save-as pdf. Version 2 assumes you copy'n'paste faster than you type: 1. Generate the report based on the oldest grandchild of the 4-child daughter and PRINT IT TO FILE as an rtf/rich-text. 2. Generate a 3-generation report based on the 2nd grandchild; 3. Repeat step 2 for each of the remaining two grands. 4. Open file 1, open file 2; copy info on child 2 into file 1 immediately after child 1, close file 2, SAVE FILE 1; open file 3, copy info on child 3 into file 1 immediately after child 2, close file 3, SAVE FILE 1 ; open file 4, copy info on child 4 into file 1 immediately after child 3, close file 4, SAVE FILE 1. 5. Open report again and either print it or save-as pdf. I deal in how --most of the time-- and while I agree it would be faster and easier if there were an automatic way to get this, I've never seen a program that would do it, so I assume there's a technical reason for it.
