Excellent tip. Worked exactly as you said. However, I am now using another product for charts which has much greater graphic capability and is under $20. Permits all sorts of things and is easy to use. Perhaps Legacy should consider acquiring it or include it among their add-ons. Jeff

Jeff Sent Is there a way to eliminate the boxes' default 3rd column (or merge it with the 2nd column) since it is unused in this tree? Because of the empty 3rd column in each box the longer names in the 2nd column get split into 2 lines when they could easily fit if the blank 3rd column space

Jeff If you do the sizing first then you may not need to do as much dragging. Carefully selecting where you drag can avoid the weird connecting lines. However, if the chart is too large, requiring a great deal of compression, to fit on a single page, this may be impossible. You need to
