Go to the Embellishments tab and look in the "Miscellaneous" folder. (It's faster if you type "silhouette" into the search instead of scrolling through all of the embellishments in the folder.)

They standard layout is great with a couple issues... - I would like to create a combination tree with 6 generations (too little information for 7, more than enough for 5). - No option to use a silhouette photo for those that do not have one. - I can choose from dozens of embelishments, backgrounds and frames but I cannot create a tree with 6 generations... - I have toiled hours in the FTM 2009 (now with Bow-Tie) but the templates are very plain and very difficult to get to a single 36X24 page for printing. I do not have the same mobility there as in MyCanvas. - You have two products that work OK but if you had some of the features from each together it would be great. - In FTM 2009, I can only make square thumbnails, boxes for text and no siblings of children... - Why not a MyCanvas combination template for FTM 2009??

It should be available this summer. I think this option will appeal to people who want to order a proof copy so they can review their book in print before committing to a more expensive cover. It will also be a good option for people who want to order several copies of a book to take to a family reunion. We are working on a soft cover for the 11×8.5 family history books.

Just to be clear, though, the widget that transfers the events hasn't been developed yet, so if you started a new calendar today, you wouldn't be able to transfer the dates from your previous project. But all of the event info has been tagged so that we can transfer it over once the widget's been developed (later this year...definitely before Christmas).
