I sort of assumed you could switch between FTM 2012 view vs. FTM 16 view on the new version. I did not select the v16 view when I loaded my v16 file. Is there a way to switch back and forth? I just did not have any luck finding it in ftm 2012 help files. Just started playing with the new version. FTM 16 is still my primary. Russell
All the so-called v16 view is the FTM 2012 family view with the LH panel minimized I suggest that you explore how to configure your family view screen by dragging the panels I would also strongly suggest that you go into FTM Help and run through the training tutorials and also have a look at the various FTM webinars on this link. http://learn.ancestry.com/LearnMore/Webinars.aspx You will have to scroll through the list to find the FTM ones, there are about 4 or 5 of them over the last few years. Also have you opened the 300+ page Companion Guide on your Help menu? It is a good PDF book on FTM John D -----Original Message----- From: ftm-tech-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ftm-tech-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Russell Casey Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2011 9:50 PM To: ftm-tech@rootsweb.com Subject: [FTM-TECH] FTM 2012 view vs v16 view -how to switch?
