Hi Russ, My Descendants chart was only 3 generations because that is all I wanted to fit on one page. Several times when it crashed there was no color or background picture - so the size would have been fairly small (I don't know - I was never able to save one to my hard drive and see how big it was). When I tried the Vertical Pedigree chart it was five generations and in black and white with no background. Therefore, it would likely have been a relatively small file. Again, I never got to make the choice of file type before the crash. I was going to compact my file and try again. I did that (it only took out 0.31% out of 48 mb). When I tried to Export ato Image FTM 2009 crashed again. I guess I'll have to wait for the patch that deals with crashes! No real problem - I just won't make charts and save them as images until the patch works. Would uninstalling and then re-installing FTM 2009 be the next best step?
