AQ Report Choices

When it comes to creating charts, Ancestral Quest has a large selection of charts that an individual can create from their family information. To get to the section to print charts, one simply clicks on the 'printer' icon or you can get there by clicking on 'File', scroll down and click on 'Print Reports and Charts'.

Looking at the above menu, we'd like to point out how one can click on any one of the tabs at the top to get to the type of chart one may be wanting to print or create to share.

Each tab has a few different things on it but they all have a lot of similar items too. They all have a Common Option button which is where you can suppress RIN and MRIN numbers on a report as well as include Relationship Codes, Multiple parents indicators, color coding and tags.

To the right under the Preferences button you'll find the place either include LDS Data or not, capitalize surnames and add color.

The button labeled Source Images provides you with the ability to add a caption and a description to the images.

The Fonts button allows you to change the size of the font for various parts of the chart or report you are creating.

The Printer Setup button will allow you to change it to a PDF or to print the chart or report and the Page Setup button allows you to adjust the size of the paper, this is a nice feature if you are printing a large wall chart that will be printed on a special printer for large charts.

With this large variety of altering that can be done to a chart, one can definitely create some great looking charts. Here is a link to review some of the charts that can created with Ancestral Quest.

Common Options

Ever wonder how to Suppress RINs and MRINs in reports? There are other things that sometimes come into play when working on reports that may help you do a better report.

On nearly every report there is a button that says "Common Options". Often as we work on reports we concentrate so much on the report that it is easy to miss noticing that button. But if you click it, it will allow you to do those things and more. Here is a screen shot for the Pedigree charts:

As you can see it is at the bottom in the middle, however, other charts will have it in a different location.

The key is to look carefully as the button moves around on different charts depending on the room available.

Once you click it, you'll have the ability to suppress those items:

The object is to create the best looking report and while you may want the RINs, you may not want the MRINs so the choice is up to you. 

Take advantage of this feature next time you go to create that special report!
