Anyone else out > there having this problem? Sue I had the same problem. It turns out that the FTM uses part of my Printer program to organize its files. I had a Apple Stylewriter 1200 printer, which turns out to be incompatable with the FTM. I switched printer drivers and everything started working OK. Just go to the "Chooser" and select another printer, not necessarily to print out anything but to see if it makes a difference. In my case it made all the difference in the world!! So, I went to the Apple site and downloaded a driver program for a Stylewriter 1500(the color printer cousin of the 1200). Now all works OK--both the printer and FTM. By the way, I was really disapointed that the FTM for Mac does not have all the special printouts and other "Bells and Whistles" that the Windows program has. I have gone back to my old PAF. Good Luck! Tommy TomG@oui.com
