I see that a CSV option has been added, but isn't that PC stuff?
I would like TDV (tab delimited values) so that I can paste the output into a spreadsheet and sort it.
(TDV works with AppleWorks AND Numbers)
It would be good to also have that option in Reports.

Can anyone help?
I am trying to export the descendants of 4 generations onto a spreadsheet and all the CSV report produces is a spreadsheet with one line of information.
Am I doing something wrong or is this not available?
Thanks

Hi Joe

I think you are tring to do something that is not available.

Please tell me what you are going to do with it when you have it. Maybe I can then nut out what should be in each column and each row.

Many thanks in responding so promptly.
What I am trying to do is this:
I have around 10 families within my family tree (aunts, uncles and a lot of cousins), I am looking for a way of selecting the family through their father and then exporting the family across to a spreadsheet. This will allow me to email the spreadsheet to the family and they can then complete and return. It is probably not requested that much but I have 78 first cousins and don't know all of their names or birthdays etc. If I could export the information contained on the screen when I press " descendants" of a selected person that would be the ideal solution.
Best Wishes

Hi Joe,

I have sent you V2.257 which has new " Print" button on the Relatives pane that may do what you want. Please try it and let me know what is missing for your purposes. You could print different spreadsheets for each person, get them to fill them in and then compare the results - although if your relies are like mine then ....

Keith

And here was Joe's off-line reply
This is perfect and exactly what I require as the relies are all ordered in families so its easier to cut and paste etc.
You are a star.....
Many Thanks
Joe
