Wow, this is a nice PDF. You have a lot of work ahead of you if you do it for every family in your genealogy tree :wink:

Barry, Microsoft implies that you have to be a registered user of an earlier version of Expression in order to download, but if you go past the NET Password log-in stage, you will find that you can download Expression with no problem. I do not have an earlier version and am able to use the downloaded version with no limitation (so far!).
I agree with Dan - your sample pdf is excellent.

Thanks for the compliments Dan and Howard.
It was just an example not a finished product - I have to develop a consistent style for the pages - this was an experiment.
I had just discovered that I could paste a selection from GenoPro Beta into my graphics program - I hadn't been able to that from v1.
My tree isn't so large just 260 individuals - I don't go too far back - just far enough to find a family or location overseas that was the origin for each branch.
At present I only need 5 or 6 generations to move from my little island in the Pacific to reach the UK (the source of all my branches).
And I'm only concerned with the direct line plus siblings - I don't stretch to descendants.
I recently made contact with a guy who claimed to have 400,000 individuals in his tree - Australian records are pretty good - I doubt if many on his tree are verifiable.
Howard - I followed your instructions - No doubt Expressions is a great program but I was a bit daunted by the 57Mb download !
My old Top Draw program comes in at under 2 Mb unpacked.
Thanks for your concerns but I think I'll stick with my powerful (if underweight) alternative.
I'm slowly working out an method (by layering) that seems to speed up the editing process.

Wow. This is the largest genealogy file I have seen so far. I am always fascinated by those large files for performance benchmark. By modifying the code to select rows in the Table Layout, I was able to reduce the processing time from 81 seconds to 15 milliseconds for a Gedcom a file having 65,000 individuals.
Such a file will be a good sample genealogy tree for the new AutoArrange of version 2.1. The new AutoArrange will be capable to create GenoMaps when detecting overlapping.

Back in August I wrote:-
I've discovered that I can use my old Top Draw vector graphics program by selecting the required part of the diagram in Genopro and pasting into Top Draw with both applications open.
With the latest Beta version this is no longer possible.
Top Draw tells me that it "cannot access clipboard data".
I cannot paste into Powerpoint either (no error message just - nothing).
I can get around this by exporting an EMF that I can import into Powerpoint and then if necessary export a WMF that I can import into Top Draw.
Just curious - What changes have occurred in the graphic structure of the Genogram that prevents Copy and Paste into another graphic application - It worked back in August?

With the latest Beta version this is no longer possible [to do copy & paste].
Top Draw tells me that it "cannot access clipboard data".
I cannot paste into Powerpoint either (no error message just - nothing). I have fixed the problem. Can you download Beta15b again (http://www.genopro.com/beta/InstallGenoProBeta.exe) and confirm the fix? Just curious - What changes have occurred in the graphic structure of the Genogram that prevents Copy and Paste into another graphic application - It worked back in August? Yes, I changed the way the metafile is stored in the clipboard. Originally I was suspecting a memory leak during a copy & paste operation. I changed the code and tested the new code on all my computers (95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista) with applications such as Word, Excel and Paint to discover it worked fine. (I don't have PowerPoint by the way). The documentation for the API SetClipboardData() is very sparse and does not explain the transfer of data ownership for the CF_ENHMETAFILE parameter. This is nothing new but the norm with Microsoft documentation. You have to find it out by yourself - or by a customer reporting a problem.

Downloaded and Installed.
Clipboard now available in all graphic applications.
Thanks Dan for the fix.
