Thanks all. I thought that the title field in these charts was linked
directly to the FTM database. But, although it does that to
automatically generate the initial default, I've since learned (from
Paul Blair in soc.genealogy.computing) that you can subsequently
customise it via the menu, using Contents|Title & Footnote... So I've
simply headed it 'Mary Smith : Descendants'.
