Judy and everyone else.... Something you should know about FTM - that we
found out from their tech support. When you import a picture and then
decide to delete it... it doesn't really go away! It wont show up in the
scrapbook but it's still in the program as a compressed file and there is no
way to get rid of it. A friend put her pictures in and then printed the
scrapbook, deleted the pictures and her file is still 153mg. No - I don't
mean the backup of the whole program, I mean the one file she keeps all her
families in. Tech support says there's no fix for that problem at this
time.

My suggestion.... Seperate your family files if you can work with them that
way. When you back up - they will take less time and hopefully fit to a
disk. You can always import the seperate files into one at a later date.

Another suggestion... read the manual. It worked for me. LOL

Good luck!
