Ralph, can you describe what you mean by "classic layout view"? In 2014 the 4 parts of the screen in the People area can be opened, closed, and re-sized to the user's preferences. Just drag the boundaries. If you close the right panel and index in the left panel you're left with a pedigree at the top and a family group sheet at the bottom. That's how the display looks in v. 16. Would that do what you want?

Judy, I did a blog post a while ago, perhaps this will help Ralph answer your question. http://ftmuser.blogspot.com/2014/03/family-view-version-16-and-ftm2014.html Russ ___________________________ Mailto:rworthington@att.net ________________________________ From: Judy In Ocala via <ftm-tech@rootsweb.com> To: Ralph Jepson <ralph.jepson@btinternet.com>; "ftm-tech@rootsweb.com" <ftm-tech@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2015 12:10 PM Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] FTM 16 v. 2014: The Great Debate Ralph, can you describe what you mean by "classic layout view"?
