Terry, There are commercial programs such as Screen Shot that allow you to select a part of the image on your monitor and save it as an image file.

Terry, Assuming you are asking how to print a "piece" of text from *any* web page displayed in your browser, without having to print the entire page, this is what *I* do (IE 5.5): I select (highlight) the text and/or image with my mouse, and then click the "print" button on my browser's toolbar. Only the selected section prints. I don't know if this works with earlier versions of IE, or other browsers, but it works for me and I love it. It really saves a lot of paper and ink. If I misunderstood your question, please forgive me.

You can also copy and paste sections of text to other programs like MS Word and then print or save to a file as you like.

Alfred, Were you using the internet website generation for the type family group pages? When I do that, even though all descendants are selected, it only generates a family group sheet web page for the first marriage, even though children on the 2nd marriage are descendants also. I'll try it again and see if perhaps I did something wrong that caused it to do that.

Derick, I have created descendant report web pages before and everything prints just fine. But it appears that all descendant families don't print when you create your site by generating the family group sheets... if there is more than one marriage and family, then only the families by the first marriage print. I'm wondering if no one else is using this capability in the program?? At 09:18 PM 6/11/01 -0400, Derick wrote: >At 08:13 PM 6/11/01, P.

I have been directing people with this particular problem to contact: Paul Burchfield, Genealogy.com Technical Support http://www.genealogy.com/support describe the problem and see if he will delete the web site for you. So far, I have never heard whether it did them any good or not, so I don't know, but an email doesn't cost much. Alfred ============= ---- Original Message ----- From: "R.

If anyone has created their web site with FO's family group sheet capability, can you tell me... When you selected it to print all descendants and spouses, if someone had more than one marriage, did it print charts for both marriages or only the first? When I checked my results in more detail, I find that it created a family group sheet for only the first marriage, whether or not there were children from both marriages. Is this to be expected from FO when it creates this type of website, or is there something to check to make it actually create family group chart web pages for ALL descendants? Is is necessary to just create the FGS web pages from the entire database? Or will it still create charts for only the first marriages? Does anybody know?

Highlight the portion you want to print, DO NOT click on the print icon, but go to FILE -> PRINT -> then in the dialog box, select the choice PRINT SELECTION -> PRINT. This works in WIN98, 98SE, ME and 2K, but not sure about WIN95.

I could not delete my old web page because I changes ISP's and got a new PC so I created another one. I still want to get rid of the old one but can't figure out how to do this. Help? The old one I need deleted is at: http://www.familyorigins.com/users/s/l/e/Richard-W-Sleeman/ Thanks Richard

Terry, If the site is a TEXT site, or HTML, you can highlight the lines you want and copy to clipboard. Then, open your word processor and paste it there for printing. Or, you could even open a new email and paste it there, then send the email to yourself. If the site is an image, however, you will need to copy the image as a file to your HDD, then open it in an image program and edit it there by cropping it.

That's okay... when I read your earlier note, I did a double-take... thinking that maybe I HAD misaddressed posted my note to the wrong list.

Claire, This IS a question specific to Family Origins software. If you go to the pulldown menu "Internet" > "Create a web site" > and then choose Family Group Sheets as the selection for "Create a Web Site," this generates family group sheets for a web site. This is the Family Origins FGS web pages I'm asking about. Perhaps you didn't realize the program offers this capability.

My question is about the results of generating a family group sheet website. I don't know if I did something wrong or if what I got was an anomaly of some sort. My intent was not to generate my entire database, but instead to generate FGS of key ancestors, their families, and descendants with spouses forward for X number of generations (to exclude living people altogether), and then their ancestors and spouses. I chose several of my lines and made selections for family, as child with family, as parent with child, X number of generations for descendant with spouses and ancestors with spouses. I think I made the appropriate check marks to do this, but maybe didn't, as I would up with results that included living individuals, although their data was marked "(living)." I thought I would just go back through the data and try again. But I wound up with something that I don't understand. On at least two of these FGS (mine and my sister's) the link on our "family as child" FGS included a link to another FGS as "parent with children" for our earlier defunct marriages with no children... but it generated NO chart for our present marriages (also with no children). Why would it have only generated FGS for the first marriages and not the second? Neither had any children. Was there a selection asking for this type of generation that I missed? Or is this some kind of anomaly in the reporting? I hope I've described this clearly enough so someone can explain what happened and one should expect from this type of website generation with FO. Thanks, Patricia
