When you get the tree up I found that if you clicked on certain parts of it they became highlighted and those were the ones printed. As far as I remember it came up on a grid and each section was an A4 sheet and had numbers and letters in it. |

Hi,as Sally says if you get tree up with the arrows showing then just below the arrows, it says print, as you select sections that is the order that will be printed, but if you have too many names on your, like i have then the print option is no longer available. |

Thanks for your help Sally, but I still dont seem to be getting anywhere. When I get the whole tree on screen and a message says to roll over preview panel and choose which pages,it is so small I cant read it,so then I try zooming in,to find that is not the area I want. I am spending my time zooming in and out,and still havent got anywhere. |

Can you not figure out which parts you need by looking at your full tree in another window? |

Thanks Sue,I am now getting part of what I want,by right clicking the mouse and printing from that option, but the print is huge and I cant get all of the screenpage in print,I feel sure there must be an easier way than this. |

The worst thing I found with printing my tree Irene was that a lot of the boxes had half on one page and half on another. So sticking them together was fun! |

I know which parts I want but when I press the print button it shows the chart tiny,then I cant see where I want,if that makes sense |

I have already printed my tree a couple of years ago Sally, and like you say it was half and half boxes,but at least I was able to print what I wanted which I dont seem to be able to now. |

TBH Irene once I'd printed it I found it a bit hard knowing what to do with it! |

I think I will get a roll of wallpaper and cut out all these bits of pages and stick them on, in order,then the parts I cant get printed ,hand write them. |
