Personal Ancestry Writer II v80
Personal Ancestry Writer II v80 has been released.
Changes:
A Descent button has been added to the Pedigree window and a
Pedigree button to the Descent window:
• If the person in the first (left-most) button in the Pedigree
window has partners, clicking on the Descent button will close the
Pedigree window and open the Descent window with that person in the
large button, the current partner below, and any children of that
couple in the buttons to the right.
• If the person in the large button in the Descent window has
parents, clicking on the Pedigree button will close the Descent
window and open the Pedigree window with that person in the first
button and that person’s ancestors in the buttons to the right.
• And so on indefinitely until you cancel or you click on the
person in the first button to make that person the current person.
• Interconnecting the Pedigree and Descent windows in this way will
allow you to navigate up and down through a person’s relatives
without changing the current person unless you wish to.
• As always, you can see a popup of vital events for any person in
the Pedigree or Descent window by holding down the option key and
moving the cursor over that person’s button.
A Print Family button has been added to the Descent window:
• If the person in the large button has a partner, clicking on the
Print Family button will print a standard family group sheet for
the that couple. If that couple has children and any of those
children have one or more partners, you can also choose to print
family group sheets for those children. You can also choose to
print notes following each family group sheet printed.
• To save paper when printing, the Print dialog box in OS X allows
you to choose Save as PDF in the PDF popup menu. The resulting PDF
file can be opened in Preview or Adobe Reader. When you’re happy
with the results, you can print from the PDF. It’s also possible to
do something similar in OS 9.
The Pedigree window which is displayed when tagging or writing a
lineage has been modified:
• The window’s features have been limited to the selection of the
ancestor of the lineage.
