Ross...I noticed in last month's mailing list you said you used Rootsmagic for an excellent large wall chart. I use PAF5.2, Companion and PAFWiz2 and am thinking of purchasing Ancestral Quest 12.1 just for an add on for when the nFS becomes available, but still primarily working with PAF5.2 I would like to ask is there any complications with just using the Rootsmagic for the large charts only. Regards. Maureen
Thank you for your enquiry. That is exactly what I do. When I want a large wall chart I create a GEDCOM file from my PAF5 and import it into Roots Magic and then create the chart with those records I want to include. It is very flexible and one, after trial and error, can use the event fields wanted in boxes or not, can use different colours or size for different lineage. If you want to include Maternal lineage one can create both and Merge them into one chart. You can then create a file in .pdf format or other, so that you can have your local Print shop, make the copies. I have done some up to 20 ft long. If you have trouble getting a local Print shop to print it. RootsMagic will use the file you create and make a print out and mail it to you.
