	To import from PAF, you have to save the file as a GEDCOM, I think on the file menu there is an option to 'Export' then it lets you save in the right format - I've only done it once before, so this is a bit fuzzy as it was a while ago, but I seem to remember it was quite simple.

	Hi does anyone know the answer to this. I have been updating my tree via PAF at home and now have quite a lot more than is shown on my tree here. If I want to import it, do I have to delete all my tree from here again, or will it just update it? Thanks Trudy
