Are there any versions like the 2006 format that would be compatable with windows 7? I have tried to work with the new version and I find I do not enjoy it I don't like the cluttered page and do not like the way I have to enter things, so I just stopped entering things, in fact I never use it any more. I gave it a good shot but either I have to find a version like the old one, maybe with a patch, or I have to change programs altogether. I like it when the family group only was shown on the page and you just entered in the children. Jo, The answer is 'not really'. You can make Version 2006 or Version 16 run on Windows 7, but you may have issues. Please remember that Version 16 and earlier was based on DOS. The real issue in Version 11, 2005, 2006, and 16 is a third party application to generate a PDF file. If you look at the People Workspace, Family View, you ARE looking at the Family Group, it just has the pedigree at the top of the screen. In 2006 that is Two Screens. Have you looked at any of the Tutorials hat are available? Which version do you now have? I have a Blog about Family Tree Maker and it might be of some help to you. I have used Family Tree Maker since Version 3.4 and I find that FTM2012 is far more powerful and less mouse clicks to get around. Russ • Reply by on February 18, 2012 at 8:35am. I have to go in and look at it again, it has been a while since I have delt with it, I just read somewhere that if you like your program and don't want all the 'improvements' to look for a 'patch'. As i remember to add children you need to click somewhere at the top and after it entered the child, then click someplace else th o enter the BD etc. I just like to see it as i go like the older version. When I went to enter the next child it entered it under the child I had just entered, I saw my mistake several children down the line, and I keep forgetting you can't just enter one after the other. I have seen the tutorials, it isn't that i 'can't work it, It's that I don't like the format, I don't like the cluttered page and all the clicking around to get things on there.

Ok I see that but the view doesn't show where the children were born, it is all about the person rather than about the couple and their children. I like the pedigree display it is nice and big and easy to read, the person view is small font and isn't in a chart form and is just not what I like and what I 'signed up for' when I got my first FTM, I think the changes may be an improvement to some. I think it is a matter of what i prefer to look at and work with, and I can see I can pout and stomp my foot all I want to but I am not going to have my way. Maybe some day they will revert back to that nice simple version they once had, maybe for people like me. I think I have an answer, I can buy a laptop with XP on it for my old FTM:) • Reply by on February 18, 2012 at 9:11am. Hi Jo, If you don't like the People view because it's too cluttered, you can resize or close the panes that you don't need/want. But you are right, you can't just step through the input fields like you used to. Be aware that if you are going to revert to Windows XP that you will lose Microsoft support in 2014. At this time Microsoft is only releasing security vulnerability fixes, but that will stop in 2014, at which point your PC will become vulnerable to virus attacks, as well as other vendors software will also more than likely no longer be supported. If you don't like the newer version of FTM, you might want to look at some of the other products on the market today, some of which are free. Most of the others don't cost very much.
