[Genealib] Family Tree Maker

[BeanyCecil at aol.com]

The problem with switching back is that once you have opened a file with  
the new version of Family Tree Maker, it will no longer open with the  
earlier editions.  One work-around to consider is exporting the file as a  GEDCOM 
file (.ged) from the new FTM and then import it into your old  version of 
FTM.  To remove the new version of FTM from your computer, go to  Start > 
Setting >Control Panel > Remove Programs OR Programs and  Features.  These steps 
or folder names may vary from computer to  computer.
 
Feel free to contact me off list if you would like my opinion of FTM and  
other genealogy software I have used.  Good luck.  I agree with  Suzanne, 
many libraries use genealogy software as a service to its patrons, so  some 
software questions seem appropriate for this forum.

*Question for you all...librarians or  individuals...

How do you like the latest version of Family Tree  Maker?    I had an older
version and switched to the very latest  and I absolutely hate it and want 
to
put the disk out on my drive and run  over it!!!

Is there a way to switch back to your older version--say  version 10?

Waiting to hear from you.

In light of Drew's response to the question on  FTM, I would point out
that our library purchased FTM to keep a record of the  prominent
families in our county. These are the ones we receive multiple  inquiries
on from year to year. It is a huge help to go the files on  these
families that staff has put together. We purchased the software  and
don't always upgrade each upgrade, so I appreciated having a  user's
perspective in case we want to purchase that version.
