	Carol, someone may correct me, but I believe you can only download (export) your GR tree as a gedcom (a way of storing the raw data from a family tree program so that you can share it between people). You would then need to load it (import it) into a family tree program on your computer which would then probably have the ability to produce a Word style report. Helen

If you don't have a family tree programme they are free to download. Legacy, Family Tree legends or PAF from the familysearch site are all good. Legacy will definitely enable you to produce a word document you can print off.
