I use Family Origins, from the report screen print a family group sheet when the print screen comes up choose text file or ascii whichever it says instead of screen or printer. I save mine in MyFiles as a subfolder Family Group Sheets makes it easy to exchange with others via e-mail. I hope you get loads. Wanda
