Hi Sue, Thanks for replying. I need the final format for emailing. My client wants to email the chart to family members, but when I saved it as a jpg and sent it to her, it was unreadable although it was very clear on my computer. I tried to save it as a png, but that resulted in the same problem. I also clicked on PDF, but for some reason, Legacy didn't allow that format. I appreciate your having replied.
