Listers, I wonder if anyone has a recent version of Family Tree Maker. I only have a 2005 version. I've been asked how to add backgrounds pictures to charts. Under FTM 2005 there was specific command in the banner line, but I can't see it in online displays of the current version. I've suggested User Manual and Help options, but was wondering if somebody could help with the answer. Peter

Hi Peter There are very good FTM lists which would be able to answer your question and any others you may have <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Software/FTM.html> <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/surname/f/ftm-tech.html#FTM-TECH> <http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Software/FTM-HELP.html> There are very knowledgeable and long term users of FTM on them Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 03/02/2014 09:00, Peter R Booth wrote: > Listers, > > I wonder if anyone has a recent version of Family Tree Maker.

Hi Peter, I have used FTM 2005 (the USA version) but I doubt doing the graphics you want to do would be any different in the UK version. The differences between the two versions is mainly concentrated in the subtle differences in grammar, punctuation, and the expression of location names and calendar dates. I no longer use 2005. I now have the version from 2011. The process for adding custom or stock images in charts is very different now than it was in 2005 edition so the current version's directions won't help you much. I have, however, kept the expanded 2005 official guide that was sold separately with the software. If you send me your private e-mail address, I can scan the pages pertaining to Adding Photographs and Images to Charts and e-mail PDFs to you. This would be a total of three pages. Let me know, I will keep a bookmark in the guide just in case.
