Thanks for pointing out the rescaling capabilities of the program. Unfortunately, it rescales everything. It makes the fonts smaller too! That is not what I want. I like the 8 point Font, I just want less white space between the people. Hey what if I make the font 10 points on import and then rescale it? But to the other point I made earlier, I did a descendant chart from my Great Grandfather Luke Bayle, in both FTM and TDL. In FTM I got a tree that measured 67.5 x 5.5 inches = 371.25 sq.in. In TDL the first time I got a tree that measured 88 x 24 inches = 2112 sq.in., but it had more data for each person, because I took TDL's defaults. Cutting out data to make it more like the FTM tree gave a tree that was 77 x 16 inches = 1232. So it's still 3.3 times as large. The program does produce very nice trees. And if you are happy the the default behavior, it will work well. On the other hand it takes a lot of rowing to make changes if you would like things a bit different from the defaults. I find it much more flexible than FTM, but a lot more work to get things the way I'd like them.
