I can't add anything to what you already have, but we are searching for the same information. Perhaps you could contact me via the email link on my web site at www.fredscott.net

I have all versions from FTM2005 to FTM2014 running perfectly on Vista. There is a slight issue with the earlier versions but there is a fix at http://tinyurl.com/m5dk7fg.

Glad to be of help Geordie Daughter.

I agree that the latest versions of FTM are quite daunting when first encountered, however frequent use and perseverance will pay off when you finally get the hang of the multitude of features available.

In the Publish workspace, display the report
Near the top right corner of the screen are two icons - Print and Share
Click on Share
Click on Send as PDF
The PDF file is saved to the hard disk and your email program is opened with the PDF file as an attachment.

If you just want to create the PDF file without sending it immediately, then click on Export to PDF. You could also experiment with the other output formats, namely CSV, RTF, HTML and Image.

You are correct, in that FTM2014 does have a feature which I believe is what you want.

A right-click on any person brings up a menu which includes "Export Branch". This produces a paternal (or maternal) tree with all spouses and siblings, both ancestors and descendants. The resultant tree can be culled if there are too many individuals present.

A simple solution is available in FTM2012.
1. Create a Descendant Chart with the oldest person at the top
2. In the right hand panel, change the Descendants option from "All descendants" to the person you want at the bottom of the chart.

This may, or may not, be what you want as spouses are shown but siblings are not displayed. Another option is a Relationship Chart but this doesn't even show spouses. There is another way to make a chart in exactly the format you want but it is very fiddly and can be quite difficult.

I haven't logged on to RootsChat for a while, but just did so and saw your problem with entering sources. I can tell you that you are not the first person to have exactly this problem. If you haven't already sorted out the problem you may be interested in something I wrote up describing how to enter sources (and not lose them). You can download it from http://sdrv.ms/17OJsQN.
