Hi, I was a little unhappy with my Family Tree Maker3.1by Banner Blue but the new one , loaded over the old one like an update, is excellent. Be sure what hyour computer capacity is on Ram and Rom. Want Bells and Whistles? Frontier saying was " If Youre Going to dance, You gotta pay the Fiddler". I also guess if you try to run Juno on MCI internet service, sometimes you had to change 2 lines of code to prevent the programs from being hostile and possibly fouling up other programs. After 4 phone calls to Juno, I finally found this in Juno Help and printed it out , changed it, and it improved. Other programs have buildt in Hostility by accident or design. My new FTM Version 7 by Broderbund has the following toolbar- the old had less than half of thios and it was harder to delete a person or change him from birth parents to Foster parents , not affecting the lineage of descendants. SECOND ROW OF TOOLBAR BELOW DIFFERENT wORD CHOICES LIKE FONT & CHANGE PERSON, eTC.: 1. Index 2. Family Page with spouses , notes, & photos. 3.Cue card for photo scrapbook 4. Ancestor Tree 5.Descendant Tree 6. Hourglass tree 7. All- in one- Tree 8. Outline list Direct Family Tree 9. Geneaology Report (Collects all info from person you pick and prints it in perfect book form without cut and Paste) 10. Reports 11. Map with family members printed on it. 12. Books 13. Family Finder entry 13. Timeline of family 14. FTM online 15. Family Finder service 16. View- Data CDs of census- immigration, ect.(Similar to useing info discs in Apple or Encyclopedia on Microsoft) Some day I gotta figure how to use all this. Take care, charles A.
