-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cathy Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 20:13 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Gedcom - Family Historian programme Double-clicking a ZIP file in XP, when you don't have another ZIP program installed, opens the Zip file as if it were a folder. In the Task pane is the option to Extract all files. This is what you need to do. You can also drag and drop the file(s) out of the left pane onto your desktop or another folder. (There's always more than one way in Windows) Gedcoms are often Zipped when emailed as, because they are plain text files, some email programs put them into the body of the email instead of leaving them as an attachment. Once you have the file (extension .ged) you import it into Legacy. In the import process, choose to begin a new family file.
