I received a private message and I thought it might be helpful to post my reply here. I've deleted the name. In a message dated 10/11/2005 6:23:51 PM, >Please continue with your suggestion, after "Also". You left out a lot >of steps after "Descendants" as there is no place to select Print. When >I click on Next it doesn't lead anywhere either. You first have to create the html file. It helps to find the html file later, if you save it to the desktop when you create it. Then open it by launching your browser software and then choose "Open" from the File Menu of your browser software. Look in the dialog window until you find the html file you created and then select and open the html file. Then choose "Print" from the File Menu of your browser software. To create an html file, open the PAF file. Choose the family view and put earliest ancestor in the primary position. Pull down Tools and select Create Web Page. Under Type of page, choose Descendants. Then choose the Notes options you prefer and the other options. Then hit the Next button. Give page a name and hit the Finish button. Follow the next screens and the html file will open on your computer screen. It appears you can only print the pages one at a time. I don't see how to tell the program to print the whole html file all at once, but perhaps it is possible. It creates a PDF file which then opens with Adobe Acrobat and you then give another command to print one page (which is just part of the report). >In your 1st paragraph you refer to save in wp format. Wp stands for WordPerfect >and it doesn't work either. No, my use of "wp" is an abbreviation for word processing; I indicated this in parentheses the first time I used "wp". I believe it would be easier in PAF to go to File -> Print Reports -> Books -> Modified Register (Descendancy) and create a report and save as rtf and send it, or open the rtf file in your wp (word processor) and save, if possible, in the word processing format that the relative uses and send, or open in your word processor and save as html and send. Your relative can open an html file with his browser. This particular html file, created with a word processor, will then display the entire report as one page which can then be printed in its entirety with one print command. I tried it and it works, however some of the notes are missing in the Print Preview mode, although they are displayed when the html file is on the screen. I don't know what is causing this to happen. Perhaps the easiest way is to create a report and save as an rtf file and send it, or open the rtf file in your wp (word processor) and save, if possible, in the word processing format that the relative uses and send.

When I choose John Bloggs as the earliest descendant, I get a "book" or "page" of the Bloggs descendancy. How do I get a book that includes John Bloggs and Mary Smith, down to where their descendants intersect and become the one family and to the present? I have all individuals on the one PAF file.
