Genealogy Chat

I promised to send a GR Member a report of a family linked to both of us and tried to copy and paste it but couldn't so scanned it into the computer after printing it but she has said it was too feint to read. Any suggestions please? She has really helped me and I'd like to be able to send her what I have.
Thanks

I wanted to send her a copy of the genelogy report pages but don't seem to be able to do this from FTM. I then printed it off and scanned it in and sent it via email but the quality was poor. There must be an easier way but not too clued up. LOL

When you have created the report in FTM, click on file and then you will see export genealogy report. I do this in PDF format.
Export it then and save it on your computer ie desktop or wherever you want.
You can then attach that to the email.

Christine and Babs. Thank you so much. Will now go and send this as I want to keep in her good books.
Di

I had to try it out aswell Babs, lol and only hope I've explained it ok.

Ladies it worked so just waiting to hear from the member to see if she gets it.
Thanks again
Di

Pleased it worked, if you're like me you will have forgotten next time you want to do it.

Sorry to say it but for me it might be an age thing.!!!

Same here Di forget things from a few days ago but can remember things from years back.

You can do the same thing with a tree too, handy for sending a small tree (perhaps covering two or three generations for example or descendants of a particular person).

Some FTM reports, such as a Genealogy Report, can also be saved as text. Rich Text format (rtf) is a good choice, as it can be read by most word processors.

This can be more convenient than a pdf as it can be more easily edited.

Sorry to those who added since Thursday. I have been away and only just now checked for any replies. Thanks again for the advice. I will bookmark it for future ref.
