One other thought - add in some extra blank lines in case you don't know how
many kids, spouses, etc. might need to be inserted. I had to do this when I
was askng one sibling to fill in information for his other siblings and
their families. I had no idea of the the number of people to count on.

I would like to email my relatives a partially filled in family group

Many of my family do not have a lot of computer knowledge so this needs
to be simple. No complicated doc forms etc. Just a plain simple email
form.
Having just done this for the first time and got it to work with superb
results, may I suggest you do this:
When you have the Family Group Record window on the screen ready for
printing, don't print directly but select "Text File". As soon as you do
that the Printer button turns into a "Create" button. Press "Create".
After you select a folder location and give it a file name and click on
"Save" you'll get a nice text file that can be pasted into an e-mail
message or attched thereto.
Your recipientl can fill in the missing data in a plain text editor and
e-mail it back to you. You'll have to key into Legacy the new data.
Good luck.
Herb.
