There are probably a couple of reasons you have had this problem, Mandy. Their server may have been busy at the times you checked in. Your firewall may be preventing the download. I updated my Adaware just a while ago, out of curiosity, and it worked ok. Lance P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!

Try these sites, Doris, presuming you are talking about templates in MS Word: http://wordprocessing.about.com/cs/quicktips/qt/quicktemplate.htm http://wordprocessing.about.com/od/writertemplates/ And, of course, as you may have discovered, Microsoft have hundreds of templates to download for their various Office programs: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/default.aspx If you find one in here which is similar to one you may need, you can edit them so that they serve your purpose (I have done that with a number of them). Just remember to "save" your edited version as a template BEFORE you start using it as a document. Lance P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!

Lance, Thank you for your prompt reply! I was talking about templates in MS Word. I will yell for help if I still can't get what I want, but think you have provided the answer! Doris

I am hoping that this topic is appropiate for this list. I want to do something for my family members who are of various age from infants to grandparents with my research for birthdays and holiday this year. I have window xp and FTM Version 9. Does any one have any suggestion what I can do with these programs for the holiday season and birthday/ Thanks Marilyn

For starters, make damned sure all of your speaker wires are properly hooked up and you haven't hit the MUTE button. IOW, double-check to make sure the sound is working by listening to something you know is working. I know this is obvious, but I hit the panic button one time only to discover that one of the wires that plugged into the ack of a speaker had been knocked loose.

My blue bar on the right side of the e-mail is gone. This has been going on for several weeks and it's maddening!!!! I'm using Windows XP home edition. I hit the enter key and nothing happens. I hope someone can help!!! Ruth in SW Iowa

I'm sure it's my age and lack of computer skills. Velma

Thanks for the good info,I ran the test on my Firefox(I updated yesterday)and all appears well per the test.
