I'm having a lot of trouble with FH reports and charts (a former TMG user). How do I get descendant outline for an individual through 6 generations, with spouses? I would have thought this would be easy to do. Thanks for any help.

If this the diagram type you are looking for :-
Select View on the main toolbar.
Scroll down and select Standard Diagram Types then Descendent Chart 5 gen.
Tree type : Individual (will show the spouse in the descendant's box)
Root Person : Add your GGX5 (browse from your individuals list)
Then click OK.
Hope i've understood you ok.

Mike

Alternatively, simply select
Descendant Diagram from the toolbar.
It shows
All generations with spouses by default, but if you want to adjust that then use
Diagram > Options.
If you want a
Report then use
Publish > Outline Reports > Descendant Outline.
That shows
3 generations by default, but adjust that with
Report > Options.
I advise you study how_to:key_features_for_newcomers|> Key Features for Newcomers, especially "
Getting the Most From Family Historian" with many tutorials, and in this context
Ch 3. Introduction to Diagrams and
Ch 17. Reports or
Ch 15. Reports and Narratives.
