GenoPro cannot do magic with printing. If you have 500 individals, you will need about 10 pages to print your family tree. A zoom of 100% gives you a printout similar to what you see on the screen. Try printing 500 names on a single piece of paper, it would be unreadable; now immagine printing a family tree of 500 individuals where you have to print squares, circles and lines. It is just impossible to fit such a large family tree on a single piece of paper.

Thanks. I've been playing with that page setup function, alternating the number of pages and the scale factor. Problem is though that I don't get a good feel for the size of the text until I print a sample page out. If I could start from a "standard" font size, I think I could more easily manage the font size and number of pages to print out a genogram. Of course, I am probably not using genomaps as I should for I would like to display the 500+ descendents in my family on one genomap, without having to print a 30 x 2 foot long banner (which is easily readable) vs a 10 x 1 foot banner (that is barely readable).

The actual size of the letters will depend on the size or extent of the GenoMap so font sizes are expressed as a relative dimension, not absolute font size. You can juggle with the type size by altering the number of pages used in the Page setup menu

I know that I can enlarge/reduce the size of the fonts I'm using, but is there a way to know what size that is, relative to font sizes in other programs? For example, in MS Word, I know that if I select Arial 12, I know what I'm getting in font size in relation to a 8.5x11 sheet. As I try to optimize pages with the increase/decrease font function, it is awkward.
