I'm looking for a new genealogy program. When I print a family group sheet, I want lines between the people but not within the space for a person. I want the notes for each person to print with that person instead of at the bottom of the report; and I want the sources to print at the bottom of the report instead of on a new sheet. How do I get RM to do these things?

Family group sheet format

The Family Group Sheet format cannot be customized in RootsMagic. And that may also be the case in other genealogy programs.
In RootsMagic, you can save the FGS as a pdf file. Open the file in Adobe Reader. Save the file as a text file. Open the text file in a word processor and put in your own lines and rearrange the data to suit yourself.
If you use Microsoft Word, you could save the FGS to a rtf file in RootsMagic and then make changes to the file in Word. That could be more difficult than making changes in a text file.
