I once used a program, I think it was Brother's Keeper, that could produce a
report showing the links between a single ancestor and a single descendant.

This was produced as a text file that could be imported into an e-mail or or
news message.

Legacy does a similar report, but it has graphics and fancy formatting, and
can only be exported as a graphics file.

Is there any way of producing a text report in Legacy, other than printing it
out and then retyping it all?

Are there any other programs that can produce such reports?

Or will I have to reinstall Brothers Keeper 5 and GEDCOM my data across?

I don't know if Legacy 7 (the de luxe one) is different to the other
versions in this as I have never tried to print one out - but I have
just gone into the Relationship Calculator, selected one of my
ancestors and myself, selected Print and then the option Text file. It
has created it into a text file in Notepad - no graphics or fancy
formatting.
Hope this helps.

Yes, Legacy V7 Deluxe does create a text file and also gives the option of a PDF file with the
information arranged vertically in Boxes.

It does indeed!

That's exactly what I wanted.
