Start your email reply/response 2. Open your Family Tree Maker (FTM) 3. open a word processing software (notepad, MSWORD, WordPerfect or similar). 4. In FTM Select the head of the family that you want to give the information on -- change your view to Genealogy Report, change your content for how many generations you want to include (ie: you might want only 2 generations instead of the entire family). Then in the edit file, use the "copy genealogy report". DO NOT include endnotes in your report options--it makes a mess of the years and other information as the little numbers get changed to big numbers. 5. Go to your word processing software and PASTE, do any editing you want--getting rid of extra lines or adding comments--Then highlight the page and use the copy command, 6. go to your email repsone and PASTE. Once you know the routine it takes less than a minute to do the copy, paste, copy and paste! For some reason you can't copy directly from FTM to email but this is an easy work around. If you are unclear on any of this or have any trouble let me know. just on note on FTM-Here's a tip that might help you. I keep a file that I have my proven family in--all the cousins and aunts and uncles--everyone is linked! All my research is kept in seperate Family Tree Files--that way it doesn't get too messy and confusing. You can do Merge's from your CD's and it's safer to do these into your Research files than your "real family" file. I have research files on branches that include a multitude of surnames --keeps the movement visable from generations that migrated together. The instructions in help are pretty good, I suggest printing them out so you can follow step by step. Good luck. > Jodi Morrison wrote: > > > > I too have Family Tree Maker, but just getting started with it or getting familiar with it, could you tell me how to send gen.
