I certainly agree with you that charts are the Achilles heel of Legacy but in saying that I would not want to spoil the best program by having more Charts or combing something like Tree draw into Legacy. If you have Tree Draw Legacy you do not need Charting Companion they are like chalk & cheese. Regards Brendan

If you like what you see you can then BUY the Legacy version. I pretty much like the fact that you can import tree "sections" and do what you like with them. Now, can someone tell me whether Charting Companion is worth buying for those quick tree outputs. The worst thing about Legacy is the reporting (I'm sure I'm not alone on this.

It is a lot easier to use than TMG and allows pictures.

I find Legacy 5 just too limited when it comes to nice descendant charts and currently use The Master Genealogist for making charts ( I hate the program for most other things, it is like molasses in January and not pretty!). I really would like a good charting module that is flexible but which works well without huge user input ( I am just lazy, I guess!). I need to print these things out to send to aged relatives who are not computer literate and they love the photographs that TMG sticks in the chart (automatically). The Legacy Charting Companion just doesn't cut it for me - it's brain dead and next to useless in my book! I should be very grateful for any suggestions. Thanks, --- avast!
