Hugh ...
Thank you for your comments ...
This is from the very first line of my initial request/posting: "I'd like to see a report which, for selected persons (all persons, family, tagged, focus group, descent line, etc), lists the birth, marriage, and death dates ..."
Please note the word "selected" ... followed by some possible selection criteria. This would allow a user to pick one or five or fifty or five hundred or five thousand people for this report. Most of the selections I would make for my own use would probably not exceed ten pages. Nor did I ask for a line of white space, though the option would be nice to allow handwritten notes for those who wished to make them. I did show the lines separated on screen, but solely for clarity (and because duelling email programs are often not very good at maintaining formatting).
Btw, my current 'business' is being retired and trying to bring a deeply divided and widely separated family together through genealogy. Before retirement, I was in the computer business for 29 years.
Regards,
Bob

I'm not against program reports which are optional for use but I must facetiously ask if you are in the lumber and/or paper business. Using 1 line per person my descendant report is about 150 pages long. Your request is to have a program which expands that to 3 lines per person PLUS a line of white space after each line. That's 6 times the length of my current report or 900 pages. If you show birth, marriage, death and burial, as I do, it becomes 1200 pages. Obviously I would not use such a report but I'm curious about your perceived benefit.
