I've always had the same problem, but was hoping it would be fixed in V4. It overlaps even with the top margin decreased to .5 and the bottom margin decreased to .2, and with font size 8 for the date. It seemed really weird to me, because I knew I had other charts that seemed to fit 4 gens fine onto a landscape view - but then I realized that the 4th generation was only a name ( no BMD fields). Perhaps Legacy could offer that option. You have to remember that including all that for the 4th generation means 56+ lines of text going down the short axis of the page. You can't choose 56 lines of text at a large font that takes up, say, 9 inches of space altogether, and blame Legacy that it won't fit in 8 1/2 inches (less, counting the margins and headings). It's just physically impossible. However, if someone has visual problems, and they want to use the landscape view with larger fonts, it might be nice for Legacy to give a couple options:
1. List the 4th generation by name only, without BMD ( as noted above)[and then you go to then next chart to see the 4th gen's info) 2. Allow 3 generation pages Lisa Young ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.Rodier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2002 2:31 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Pedigree > Portrait layout pedigrees seem to be okay but most of the landscape charts > viewed with the sample Legacy 4 file have overlapping text with and without > pictures. > > The descendant chart also has overlap of pictures and text if large pictures > are included without boxes.
