It’s necessary! Thanks!

GOOD

Thanks

This program works basically the same way as the older versions. The graphics and sound have been redone. However this version is missing some good features that the others had, such as the Media Center. It still is a good value for the price.

Office 2007 has some features that are better that 2003, but nothing I couldn’t live without. And be prepared to spend a lot of time relearning the programs. Considering the cost in time and money it may not be worth it to change to the new version. For a real bargain download the free office suite from […].

I’ve lived with this operating system for awhile and I have grown to like it. It is much faster and prettier than XP but it takes awhile to figure out where things are in it.

WordPerfect Office 8 has proven itself relatively intutive and streamlined, from install to daily use. This version of WordPerfect is the first I have used, and the first word-processing software I have used heavily on a PC in some time. I also like being able to work in WordPerfect and export documents that are compatible with the latest version of Word (the docx filetype). By way of background, I have used Word on PCs in the past, but my heaviest ongoing equivalent use is of Microsoft Office and other programs on various flavors of Macintosh.

Others who are experienced in gathering data and building family trees have addressed this program’s functionality, so I’m focusing on what it’s like for a beginner to start a genealogy project with the aid of this software. I first tried to work on a family genealogy using the Windows version of Family Tree Maker, but am much more comfortable on a Mac. I’m not sure whether it’s my Mac background or differences among the versions, but I am finding Family Tree Maker Mac 3 to be more intuitive to use.

Are you the family historian, in charge of corralling ticket stubs, faded photographs, and the stories of previous generations? Or perhaps you’ve already dipped a toe into researching various branches of your family tree, but become overwhelmed with reining in all the bits of information you’ve been finding?nnIf so, you’ve probably been looking for a multimedia method of stitching together various components in a way that’s easier to navigate and control than spreadsheets and folders and narratives, whether electronic, physical or some combination of both.
