This report is person-specific. Starting from the individual listed at the top of the general Lists tab as Starting Person, the program produces a report of every living descendant in the file.
NOTE: You cannot print this information. When you make your choice of the kind of list you want and click OK, you are at the general Lists tab. Click OK there and you will get the normal Save File As screen.
You can then save the file wherever you wish. It will be saved as a text file with the extension ".txt."

. That will give you a chance to choose your Desktop or any folder on your computer (like where you keep your word processor documents).
- Click the File name box and name this file (e.g., Goodfellow family phone list).
- Click Save and you're done.
Repeat the process for each of the types of lists, if you wish. Any word processor can now print out the list or change it. Or cut-and-paste the information from that list and use it ina any other document you may be creating. Or attach the list to an e-mail and send to your whole family. The possibilities are endless.
NOTE: The information that is contained in these reports come from the Contact Information screen for each individual. If you have wished, you have entered all the address, etc., for every descendant family—all your cousins.
