The Mad Genealogist

I received this in my email last night. If you’re program won’t update the right mouse-click on the icon and run as administrator.

This upgrade is FREE to all Family Tree Maker 2009 owners. With this latest update, you”ll be pleased to find a robust set of new and enhanced features. This new update includes the following new features and enhancements:

• BOOK BUILDING – You can once again create family history books compiled from charts, reports, and text documents.
• DATA ENTRY FLOW – You can now more easily enter information about your family in the Family view using the keyboard. Simply press Ctrl+Enter to navigate to and add or edit the next person in the family.
• SOURCE TEMPLATES – When entering a source, users can continue to use our traditional source functionality. Or they can use templates that follow the “QuickCheck” models. You can also migrate data from a source you”ve already created to a new source template.
• CALENDAR REPORT – The Calendar Report is back! It includes options for setting colors and including birthdays and/or anniversaries.
• CUSTOM REPORT – The custom report will now allow you to export the report to a “columned” format when exported to CSV so that it can be brought into a spreadsheet program for sorting.
• EXTENDED FAMILY CHART – The new Extended Family Chart shows the people in your tree aligned horizontally by generation. You can specify how many ancestor and descendant generations to include. This chart is not a replacement for the “All-in-one” chart although it can display everyone in your tree. We plan to add the All-in-One chart in a future release.
• CHART/REPORT LABEL OPTIONS From most chart and reports, select any fact in the “Items to Include” dialog and click the fact options button (below the list of facts). It now includes options for how you want that fact”s label to appear in your chart or report.

Family Tree Maker 2009 owners should receive an automatic update. If by chance they do not receive an update they can manually download it from the link destination below.
