Paul,
I hope Im not telling you what you already know. A GEDCOM is made so you can transfer a file between genealogy programs. The GEDCOM has to be imported into Your favorite program.
I use FTM 2005. Im NOT happy with the new owners but I have been using it since Their start.
Now is when I get confused by your question.
I click on reports, select custom. With this you can select any people in your tree you Wish.
Then in edit, click copy report. I use this to import to Word/Excel.
Did I help? Or am I in left field?
Oh: make sure you do a backup. The file is *.ftw. Copy this file
to a floppy or stick drive. * means your file name (for the new folks)
Mine is darroll.ftw. The file is usually located on "C", then look for the
FTW folder.
