Format of Descendant Charts

[GaryP]

Hello all, I am doing an assignment and have to use a specific format for descendant charts.

Is there any way of printing them

-with the FEMALE, if married, always on the RIGHT of her partner, and

-with the MARRIAGE details always under the Female?


At present it prints with the all biological children on the left and the in-laws on the right, irrespective of gender


And the marriage details always under the in-law, irrespective of gender.

Thanks
Gary

Sorry, Gary - I'm a Family Historian user. There are FTM users here - perhaps being silent means they don't have an answer for you?

Not sure if you can export a gedcom to software that has more printing options. I haven't tried to manipulate reports that way in FH

Thanks, I didn't hold much hope. Exporting the GEDCOM sounds like my best bet. Just have to find a program that allows editing these fields in their printouts

Family Historian allows a lot of flexibility. I'm not using the current version, and I don't play with report formats. FH does have a very active users' group - you could pose your question there

I agree! I can't say if Family Historian will do exactly as you want but I'm pretty sure it will. The ability to adjust everything in a tree layout is excellent. You can get a free trial which is active for 1 month to try it out. As already suggested the User Group has some 'super experts' willing to help with quick and detailed responses.

That is the default format for FTM descendant charts if you select the male as the root of the chart. If it isn't what you want you can drag the entries into the arrangement you want.

Family Historian is much better at charts generally, but the range of options available make configuring them quite involved sometimes.

Thankyou everybody for your help.

Antony, I didn't know that about dragging the boxes,which is great,but still have the other problem.
