Change right margin for family group sheet in MG?

Recommended Posts

Hello

Using v7 with Word 2010

 

I have no problem changing left hand margin of the Family Group sheet in Word. I just go to custom settings I have pre-set. for my book. However I cannot change the right hand margin. My custom margin setting should move these but they remain the same.

Even if I am able to create a new margin size will the words automatically wrap to the next line. This is not a real drama because I can move both the lines and text manually. I wondered if there is something in the programme settings that can be changed?.

 

regards

Have you checked the margin options on the Properties tab on the report definition screen in TMG? In v7 the margins settings are the same for both Left and Right - no option for a different margin on the right than the left, which I assume is what you want. The new report writer in TMG v8 does offer a full range of margin settings for either side.

Hello Virginia

 

No I cant find the properties tab in report definition but looked at the options and only have page numbers and fonts etc.

No I actually want the same margin for both right and left. I can manually do this when it goes to word by changing margin settings to custom but it only changes left hand and right doesn't move for some reason. The lines I suspect.

I only need the package for the final stages of my book as I have completed all my tasks in TMG except odds and ends. I am printing my charts in word to add to chapters in my book which has not used TMG except to collect raw data. I will also do descendant charts and these seem to be ok in custom setting as the right margin changes.

 

I have another problem I will post separately. I don't use it often and forget.

kind regards

The Properties button (not a tab) is on the middle right side of the main Report Definition Screen - in the Report Destination area. When you click on that button you get the Printer setup screen where you can set the report orientation (Portrait or Landscape) and the margins (only 2 options in v7).

 

You can download the v8 30-day trial version and have a look at it. It is separate from v7 and both can run on the same machine.

 

The FGS in v8 is a bit different from v7 - tabular and you can use colors. You can see examples here.
