More Color Options

Once you have used the Autoformat option for the family tree chart, you may still wish to make additional color changes to some of the member boxes. To do this you must remove the setting to use Autoformat, before you can apply new color changes.

  1. Right click anywhere in the family tree chart.

  2. There will be a check mark beside Use Autoformat in the shortcut menu. Click on this option. This will remove the Autoformat feature, but will still retain the color choice you have made earlier. You will now be able to recolor the shapes manually.
