Hi there, I have a view issue with my tree:  If I add a middle name that is a bit longer and thus has its own line, it pushes the last name down to a third line and it is half cut-off, because the box doesn't enlarge.  If I print my tree, it prints with the last name half-missing.  :(  Is there a work-around for this?  Thanks!

Try adding dates of birth or death to enlarge the boxes. Even if only one person in a section of the tree has these dates then everyone else's box will be the same size as their's when printing.

If this is not an option, you could always try just putting their first and last names in the boxes and their full name in the Bio Notes.

I actually have birth dates for pretty much everyone, and death dates for a lot, but I don't wish to display those.  Thank you though!!

I did figure out that I can use the + and - buttons to not only zoom in, but also to enlarge the boxes!  Still a bit of a work-around, but I'll take it!
You're welcome :)
