    1. How to save reports as files?
    2. Hi, everyone: I need help - I want to save a Report of Descendants of a specific ancestor so that I can email it to some one, but I do not want to show full detail of persons still living. Can anyone tell me how to create a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file and not show full detail (birth date, etc...) of living persons? Sure hope it can be done. I followed the steps given in the instructions but I still can't do it unless I use the feature Export which gives me a GED file. Thank you for your help.

That will remove those details from ALL persons, though. SO: FILE/export/ select Ancestral File as your target, and in the list to the right be sure there is no checkmark in the "include full data on living" box. Now, import the GED just created into an EMPTY PAF file, and print the descendants report, which can't have the living info because it's not in the database to be included. Cheryl
