I have Family Tree Maker v.10 but printed trees use far too many sheets of paper. Any suggestions as to a separate program to use, please. Smart Draw is too expensive at $197.

I haven't found one either. I use the screen layout of a chart as a 'first draft' and then do one by hand, making adjustments as I go along. Never get it right first time, but preferable to sticking lots of sheets together. We did have an A3 printer once and that was good - sounds crazy, but you can do more with one sheet of A3 than 2 sheets of A4. Sorry can't be more help than that...

SmartDraw includes many different layouts and costs $197.

There is also Team Viewer but I've not yet been able to get it work.

My charts are in Times New Roman which leave ragged vertical layout, but only a couple of days ago someone told me that some fonts have equal spaced letters. (there's a word for that) so I might try a different one.

One very detailed tree is on two landscape A4 sheets, side by side and another on ditto in two rows.
