Hi Helen, The sooner in a project you check how it looks in the output you are planning to use, the better.
When you say "basic printouts", what particular reports are you planning to use? In what format are you planning to provide "the full tree"? If you are wanting a report containing only some of the people, you could tag the people you want and export them to a new file and run the reports from there provided they are still all linked. Just not sure what you are trying to do.
