First of all use the drop down menu on File and it should say export file. It should then bring up a box saying that it has been saved in Gedcom. When you go to save it (probably in Documents) make sure you name it and also bring down the name below as Ged com.Then go onto GR onto import and follow the directions on there. Trouble is that GR are experiencing trouble with importing, but it gives you a chance to practice. Good luck Lynda
