What's the Next Step

Family Tree Maker helps you record and compile your family genealogy. The software allows you to build a family tree book. To build a book you select a menu items, give the book a name and then use the screen in Figure 1 to add components to the book. The software flows well to the point where you add content to your book. Do you know what your next action will be? How do you save the book? How do you view the contents of the book? What can you do next? Those are the questions I asked myself when I got to this screen. But I then noticed the very prominent Help button in the middle of the screen. I click the button expecting to get answer to my questions and got the help window in Figure 2.

The demo version of Family Tree Maker is called the Family Archive Viewer. You can download a copy of the program from the C|Net's download.com site.
