Small charts are easily combined with TMG reports as in the example below of a TMG8 rendition of William Dollarhide's Master Data Sheet. The 2-page report combines the Individual Detail report with a 4 generation ancestor chart inserted (using Copy and Paste from VCF to the Word document) between the report and the endnotes:

Settings for Individual Detail Report:
- fonts - Tahoma 9 for everything
- Sources are Endnotes Unique
- Miscellaneous - shading is custom color 233, 218, 197
- Lines are black 1 pixel
- Child tags and Flags are included
- All tags included

Chart options:
- Ancestor box chart
- left to right, 4 generations
- Gap between boxes - 10, Between generations 30
- Boxes size - 204 pixels
- Boxes: Frame - none; Grey shadow unchecked
- Boxes colored by generation (could also use flag accents)
- Font - Tahoma 9
- Lines 1 pixel black
- Data type - none
- Other - Text Alignment - Left
- Other - Identifiers - ID number
- Other - Surname caps
- Other - Overlapping generations

For more information on the Dollarhide report, see the TMG Rootsweb mailing list message here.
