| I have followed previous posts about printing my tree on one page but even after shrinking it down I get a four page spread. I need to my family tree to 26 students and discuss my findings for a grad class presentation. I have tried everything posted. What the heck!!!! I am going nuts! Help, anyone?

| I have changed the print settings to suit my requirements, reduced the size of the overall tree, reduced all four margin sizes to zero in page setup, tried printing in portrait and landscape , and would try "print to page" but I do not see this option. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

If all else fails then FILE -> EXPORT -> EXPORT METAFILE. The result of this export can be pasted into a Word document and sized to suit your requirements.

| If you want to blow it up larger than an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, this is what I did. 1. Google "CutePDF Writer" and install the free version on your machine. This will allow you to produce PDF output. 2. Figure out how big you want your genomap ... 36" x 48"? 24" x 36"? how big? Do you want Portrait or Landscape? 3. Use the Page Setup settings to set the right zoom to make use of as much of the page as possible. The Print Area should be highlighted in blue. 4. Use the CutePDF writer to create a PDF file of your tree. You may need to go in and set the paper size to Custom to match what you selected in step 2 above. 5. Take (email) the PDF file to your university's printing services, a Staples/Kinko's, or a blueprinting shop to have them plot it on the size of paper you want. Call around because prices can vary widely, particularly if you want to print it in colour.

5. Take (email) the PDF file to your university's printing services, a Staples/Kinko's, or a blueprinting shop to have them plot it on the size of paper you want. Call around because prices can vary widely, particularly if you want to print it in colour. You can print directly from your home to Staples (and probably to Kinko's). I printed posters of 24" x 36" directly from GenoPro. See Printing a large genealogy tree poster at a print shop.

| I read that post and called my local Staples. They wanted ~$1-$1.50/sq ft for black and white and ~$3/sq ft for colour. For a 3' x 4' chart, B&W would cost be ~$12-$18, and colour would be $36. I had eleven different charts to print out and the total cost became prohibitive. I looked in the yellow pages and found a local blueprinting shop that would do the first plot for $0.50/sq ft and duplicates for $0.22/sq ft, for a cost of $6/genomap. My total bill was ~$75 including tax .. at Staples it would have been over $150. Kinko's was even more expensive than Staples, so I'd recommend calling around unless it's not worth your time.

Shopping around is always the best way to save money. In my experience, Kinko's is the most expensive. When I was a student, we would go to Kinko's only when we had to print our project paper in the middle of the night because it was due at 8:00 next morning.  In my experience, Staples charged $2 extra for color printing.
