Is there any chance of having a magnifier on the diagrams like they have on the ancestry census records.
You could then display much more of the tree and yet be able to see the details by moving the magnifier around.
It would be really useful
Many Thanks

I remember reading about one in a computer mag some time ago, that you could download FOC but I dont remember where from , sorry.
Just typed 'free download magnifyer' and a few came up.

There is a Magnifier program provided as standard with Windows XP. (I'm not sure whether it is always available or only if you select to install the Accessibility options).

On my system, I can access it by selecting AllPrograms, Accessories, Accessibilty, Magnifier from the Start menu.

There are a number of options to select which part on the screen to show - I normally select to track the mouse cursor.  The magnifier window can be docked at one edge of the screen or floated anywhere within it.

Thanks for that Mike I downloaded a magnifier from magnifier.sourceforge.net
It works after a fashion but only magnifies the pixcels already on the screen so if you have zoomed out the resolution is poor and magnifying it doesnt help.
I know its a lot to ask but what would be nice is magnifier that zoomed to part of the diagram thus keeping a good resolution.
Do you think this is possible
Many Thanks

It can be added to the list, personally I just keep the properties dialog open and click on the boxes to 'enlarge' the information.
