Top-Down Descendant Chart - create a descendant chart with the subject displayed at the top and descendants printed underneath

Save Screen Image - you can now save your screen image in three new formats, including JPG, GIF, PNG in addition to BMP

Customized Fonts - instead of one global font preference, Charting Companion now allows you to specify font preferences for each chart and report.  Just click the Font tab in the options dialog and choose the desired font, style and size.

Open Office Support - Charting Companion now offers you the choice of using Open Office as your word processor for Ahnentafel and Register reports (ancestor and descendant book reports).

Photo Height Limit Option - The new photo height option, found in the Box tab of the chart options dialog, will restrict the height of your photo so that the image will not increase past the specified size when the box width is increased.

Improved PDF Output - preview and publish your beautiful charts in PDF format.
