I bought myself FTM2010 for Christmas. I am upgrading from version 16. Wow, what a big difference. I've only started playing with it but it seems to be a pretty steep learning curve. I will eventually get the hang of it but it just does not seem as easy or as intuitive as V16. My first gripe is it did not come with a manual! The "Getting Started" pdf is a help but I hate reading manuals on-line.

Yes.
If you have additional questions, please start a new discussion. It's easier in the long run to reply and keep track of replies.

TY Russ.
P.S. So miss SL, too. I'll be back ... soon... working on new W7 computer, with more up to date cooling. Love my water-cooled system, but the virtual world needs just a little more. --GJ

Hi Russ and other member:
Hoping someone might help GenWise member, Eileen N. Bernier. She's using FTM 2009. We are having a tough time creating a Family Group Sheet (FGS) from her FTM project. Specifically, we want to the FGS in some electronic form --pdf, word, etc.. so that Eileen can attach same to queries she posts on GenWise.
FTM provides her with options, Print, Share, Export.
Eileen's not a techie and I'm not FTM literate.
Any assistance is appreciated. Clicking on her name, above, will take you to Eileen's personal page. --GJ

Hello - just to introduce myself. I'm new to Family Tree Maker having been given FTM 2009 (UK) in August and recently updated to FTM 2010. I managed to transfer my old file from 'Family Tree v.3' via GEDCOM via MyHeritage freeware. Have added lots of info. since and used many of the Ancestry hints (leaves) but am still having a number of problems which I will list as separate discussions.
Greetings to all (and thanks in anticipation).
Pauline

Barb -- Please remember that Photos go in the Scrapbook feature. There is an ICON on the Family Tree Maker tool bar for that. Hope that helps. --- Russ
