    1. [TMG] Printed Calendar from TMG data
    2. Tom Piercy via
    3. Has anyone got any tips for producing a printed calendar as a Christmas gift showing ancestral BMDs from TMG data? It's not the actual printing I'm wondering about. There are plenty of places to go for that - Vistaprint, Cafepress, local print shop, etc - who will turn your PDF into a final print. It's getting the data out of TMG into a editable print-ready format that I am wondering about. I appreciate that I can add the BMDs to each date by hand and that may be the way I have to go, but it would be a long and painstaking task. If there is a process whereby I can export my BMDs (or more likely a sub-set from a TMG flag) as a text file to import directly into a calendar template that would be a great time-saver. I know that Legacy has this facility built-in and it may be more cost-effective to buy a copy of Legacy, import from TMG, and print to a PDF or hard copy from there. However, I am not sure how editable their report is - it doesn't look very flexible and it would make to calendar much more attractive to be able to add background or focus images. Knowing the inventiveness of members of the list I am sure that you will have come up with more creative solutions. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance! Tom
