Descendancy Display (the tab at the lower window):
1. Allow me to choose what columns are displayed. -)
2. TITLE interests me FAR less than knowing who the spouse was of the person.

Descendancy List Enhancements

Hi Jillaine

To see the person's details you can click on the up arrow in the first column.

To see the persons family/marriage details you can click on the asterisk in the second column. If they have multiple spouses then you will be asked which family details you would like to see.

The info is all there but needs to be clicked rather than seen as you scroll. Maybe a floating window showing details for the selected line in the Descendants/Ancestors outline table?

Okay, I tried those things, but they pop up separate windows.
I want a list. Preferably that I could (gasp!) print out. Or at least copy over to a word processor. Coz, see, your REPORT: DESCENDANCY prints out a narrative report (of sorts).

Is there some other way to get a descendancy outline list for printing or putting into a book and I'm just missing it?

Thanks!

Hi Jillaine

Maybe use Reports - Descendants

And choose option &quot 1 line per person&quot

When you view it in Pages you may need to use Page Setup to switch it to landscape.
