HI, I have recently finished my geneology tree. It is very large, around 5 pages wide by 3 pages long. I am interested in printing it on one piece of paper. Do you have any recommendations on how to do this? And will they be able tranfer all the material to the paper with this software? Thank you

By default, GenoPro chooses a number of pages so the printout is readable. If GenoPro decided 15 pages was the best layout, it is because your tree is quite big. If you try to fit everyhing in a single page, you won't be able to read anything, perhaps won't be able to distinguish squares from circles.We made a video how to change the print configuration at http://www.genopro.com/tutorials/videos/printing/. If you want to print to one page, just enter 1 as the number of horizontal or vertical pages in the Page Setup dialog and GenoPro will take care of the rest.
Another alternative is to print a poster. I printed several posters directly from GenoPro to the print shop Staples via the Internet. I live in Canada and it costs me $20 CAD ($18 USD) for a 24" x 36" (61 x 91 cm) color poster. Printing over the web is as easy as printing on a local printer. You need to download the "web print driver" from the print shop and you pick the paper size you want to print your poster. You then go to the print shop to pick up your poster (and pay them of course).

Thanks for the info re: Staples. I was not aware you could do that.I would also like to print my family tree on one large plot ... the challenge I am facing is that I have split the tree into about a dozen genomaps with ~1,000 people on it in total. Most of the people are from one small village, and there was a lot of intermarrying between the families, as a result, I have a lot of hyperlinks connecting each genomap. My plan was: - Make a copy of the .gno file
- Copy and paste each genomap onto one main sheet
- Use the relationship arrows to show where one hyperlink jumps to another.
- Move each "genomap" around to minimize the length and crossover of the arrows.
- Save and Print/Plot.
My concern is that this will be a lot of work to repeat each time I want to plot out the entire tree. Is there a faster/more efficient way to show the entire tree on one plot?

Unfortunately, having several GenoMaps produces other inconveniences, especially when printing the "whole" family tree. Is this statement still valid for the above quote from year 2007? What is meant by "having several GenoMaps produce other inconveniences?" My GenoMap is hyperlinked and spreadout into 6 genomaps. What is the best way to print it into a poster or a large sheet of paper at Staples or Kinkos, please. I am thinking of copying all the 6 trees into one tree and print it. How can I set a readable font of say 12 or 14? Do I need to enlarge it and store it and then send the print job. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi
My question/request is somewhat linked to this post. I also wish to print part of my tree to a large poster, say 30" x 20" and ultimately send it to photobox for printing. My first visible problem is when I export to Meta File. When I insert it to my Desk Top Publishing program the lines linking the various individuals cuts right through their names. I just looks wrong. I also want to be a bit more creative by placing a large jpeg image as a background to the tree. I also hope to place images and a family crest on the poster. It would be nice to create the tree as a jpeg file, this would paste easily to my DTP. Previously I had tried a whole series of screen grabs but this is a very lengthy process and one I would not recommend.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
David
