The program displays a seven or eight generation birth brief chart on a single page. The chart is formatted for the chosen page size, and you cannot change the font, but you may wish to set suitably small "page top" and "page left" margins to centre the chart on the page.
The number of characters to be printed in each generation will be a maximum of 24 or perhaps 25 for an A4 page, depending on the printer. Setting values for margins may further reduce the available space. Personal names and placenames are truncated if necessary to fit the allocated space.
Choosing Birth Brief from the Charts menu opens the Birth Brief dialog box. (If a base individual has not been selected, the Select base individual dialog box will be displayed first.)
Pressing List Individuals will open the Select base individual dialog box.
Pressing Run will produce a chart with the given base individual.
Pressing Print Preview, when the button is enabled, will display the chart.
If you wish to print the chart, you should select the printer before producing the chart, by pressing Printer, or by choosing Printer from the Options menu.
