A few questions: 1) When you say "uncheck everything" - do you really mean EVERYTHING in ALL tabs? * Options tab * Page Layout tab - really should not matter * Heading layout-n/a? (no check boxes) * wording 1-n/a? * wording 2-n/a? * Index Options/Name Index - really should not matter? * Index Options/Location Index - really should not matter? * Report Options/Include * Report Options/Format * Report Options/Source * Report Options/Pictures * Title Page - n/a?, no impact
2) BEFORE changing a report this drastically, is there a way to save ALL the current settings so I can get back to how I had it? 3) AFTER changing the report to get a "true Ahnentafel" report, is there a way to save ALL the settings so I can easily get back to this Ahnentafel report in the future? I think for #2 & #3 I can use the "SAVE" option in the lower right and call it something like "AncestorBook-Bob Settings 2015-05-19" and "AncestorBook-Bob Ahnentafel version", right? But even after unchecking everything, it still seems a bit "wordy" as compared to the other examples I've seen for Ahnentafel report referenced at the other web sites.
