If the display of family members doesn't have to be in "group sheet" style, try the descendants wall chart. With the wall charts (which I know as "drop-line"charts), you click the data to be displayed. If names are all you want, don't check boxes for any other information. My problems with the wall charts are 1) the information is not centered, and 2) when selecting legal size (8.5 x 14") landscape, the program merely puts wide margins on the sides of letter (8.5 x 11") displays. Even when information is not centered, everything can be moved around manually, but that's a nuisance. To email, I export as a jpg.
