It's easy to go forward a generation because there are arrows to click on but how do you go back a generation? There doesn't seem to be an easy way except by clicking on Home Person then working forwards which can be a bit time consuming. Any ideas?

kevsterman,

What version of Family Tree Maker are you using?

What screen are you on?

Russ

Russ,

I've no idea what version I'm using. How do I tell? I'm only signed up to the free 14 day trial period at the moment if that makes a difference.

Kev

Kev,

The Family Tree Maker PROGRAM does not have a 14 day Trial. It is a program that you install from a CD. The packaging is pretty clear, as to the Version, and the Help, About Family Tree Maker will give you the Version (Product Version) information. It is PC Based.

Does that sound like what you are using?

Russ

Russ,

I'm definitely not using the Family Tree Maker software then as I haven't purchased a CD. I guess I'm using the standard one that comes with Ancestry.com. I've attached a pic of what my screen looks like.

Kev,

This isn't the message board for that. You might ask here:

Also, there is a Knowledge Base website for help.

Thanks Russ,

I'm not finding the message boards particularly intuitive so its no surprise I asked in the wrong place. I shall ask in the one you suggested.

Many thanks for your help.

Kev
