Just printed my tree of this site - Ok, - It did take 15 pages!!!, and I only have about 230 people on here, BUT - I like it - It is nicely set out and I can easily find everyone and follow the lineage. It's not the tidiest of trees as I have LOTS of side branches and 'little clumps' of twiggy bits, but being able to see it all for the first time ever is LOVELY. Try it! Dea

Hi Dea, I just discovered this and printed my tree last night. Like you say it is really good to see it all on paper. In the past it was so frustrating not to be able to see the work you had done in its entirety. Carol 430181

I've just printed mine too!! This will look better on the dining room wall than the other one I printed, which took ages, and I can see all relatives easily now. Has given me a spur on, just looking at the loose ends! Thanks

Oh help. I daren't try to print my Tree as it is so extensive that it would probably take a Ream of paper and cover 100 acres of wall!

Jim It looks quite good as wallpaper though and provokes alot of interest when friends pop in. Choose the largest room in the house (if other half allows it!!) My husband, bless turns a blind eye to it all. Me thinks he doesn't want to decorate anyway hummm...

Thanks for the tip Dea now I have put my family tree in two of those big clip frames. The sort you put big posters in and it looks good. Shame I could not get it all in one frame. Good luck to you all, it is nice to see your hard work in print. Well done. Irene

Go to your tree and select the tab at the top saying 'Tree viewer Beta Test' I have to unblock pop-ups tp see it. Heather

Go to tree viewer Beta Test at the top of the page. I had to enlarge the text before printing, click on printing to the left hand side of the page and sort your options. I printed on 1 page to try it and the print was too small, so after I enlarged the text using the + and- in the tree navigator, got the right print about the third time good luck Elaine

Thanks!!! I've just done it - I#ve never noticed that Beta viewer thing before. I'm pleased with the way it prints but it's a little complicated with lines crossing here & there, but generally it's very good.

Dea, its great is`nt it but how did you manage to print it bigger??? I have no problem getting the page with bigger boxes and writting but when printed came out same size as before . Babs Sorry I should have said Elaine can you explain !!!

Dea

Dea Report 3 Sep 2005 14:21

Borobabs - Sorry I don't quite understand what problem you are having (bit thick today!!) Let me know and I will see if I can help. Dea x

Borobabs Report 3 Sep 2005 14:23

Elaine said she managed to get the print bigger which you can on the tree board but when you print it out it still comes out the same size !! would love bigger version to but in areas they come from Babs

Dea Report 3 Sep 2005 14:30

AAAAAAAAAhhh, Borobabs - I see what you mean ! I'm sorry, I haven't worked that one out yet. I have FTM2005 and print off lists with all the details on which I can use in conjunction with this tree. I agree - It would be wonderful to have the birth places on but just for now I am very grateful to at least have this. I will watch this thread and hope to see how this could be done. Dea x

after it is loaded ready to print there is a Tree Navigator section scroll down and there is a plus or minus sign for printing size

How can you print one page to see the size? When I go into print preview it shows the green box.
