Thank you Nivard, I know PAF has been in use for many years since about the time I started my family history many moons ago. I use family tree maker 2014. So far I have never needed support as we do have workshops at our family history society which helps a bit, but I dont have much trouble anyway. The fun will start when I go to print out a family history book one day. As you say though some of the programs including family tree maker have features you will never use. I cant wait to finish at least one family to produce a booklet just for the family not for the general public.
