';read only'; version?

This is part query, part suggestion!

What do other users do when they want to share family tree info with other (computerised) family members, who are interested enough to want to see the info but not interested enough (is obsessed the word I am looking for?) to invest in family tree software?

If FH followed the example of Adobe Acrobat with pdf files so that the FH software opened as a default when you sent someone a gedcom file (but with no ability to change or add info) surely world domination would only be a matter of time. And they would be introduced to this EXCELLENT software.

I've been delighted with my experience of FH so far - and the support network, thanks to Jane and to Calico, is brilliant. Who'd have thought that I'd choose to spend spare time browsing software user forums and find it fun???

You can use the Demo version of FH for this or there are a huge variety of GEDCOM viewers which can be pressed into service.

The limits on the Demo do mean you can not print the reports or charts. So you might want to consider using one of the PDF converters, PDF995 or e-Doc printer are good and cheap, you can use pdf995 for nothing. Links are in the Downloads section of this site.

Thanks Jane - I'll try that. I haven't used the demo version, as I plunged straight in with FH.
