I recently upgraded from FTM version 8 to family tree maker 2009
(Version 18?) but dislike it immensely. Since upgrading I have not
worked on it yet. There are so many windows and the screen is so
"busy" I just can not understand half of it or figure out what the H
is where.

Question is would it be possible to revert to version 8 or 10 which I
have both of after trying 18? Would version 8 or 10 read my family
file after being used in version 18? I should have kept the family
file from 10 in case I did not like 18 but I did not.

Your new file might not be immediately readable.However, you should be able
to tell it to save for an older version. With FTM 2005 (which I'm still
using) if you go to the [File] menu and look under [Export File] and then
[Entire File] and [save as type] you get a whole shopping list you can save
as. I's also make a gedcom, just to be safe, but it shouldn't be necessary.
I use this for making files for my brother, who's using an earlier version
than I am.
